coilovers

[hunker7]

I today discovered that shocks starts to go. Looked around and full set of Sachs shocks works out at £180+. Then i came across coilovers, but problem is I am total dummy when it comes to those "things". So i do have couple of questions

1. Can you get some good kit for, let's say £250-ish?

2. How about comfort compared to standart setup?

Anything else i should know?

p.s. Mine isn't vRs..

thanks.

if yours is a normal octy theres loads of kits out there for you. Joms would be the cheapest at £160 but they are quite crashy when slammed. coilovers will always be more stiffer than your OEM set up.

You get what you pay for, i just got a set of FK highsports for around the £400 mark. my car is on the deck and the ride is fantastic. not crashy what so ever.

Not as simple as that you need to check if your Link bar connects to the strut or not and if it does you aint going to get a cheap kit unless it dont.

a normal octy does not have drop link attached to the strut like a Vrs. its the same set up as a golf/bora. ARB to wishbone.
