Coilovers eBay

[Nottswoody]

Cgb have some leaking coilovers for £14 on eBay.. If I was to buy them how much and were could I have them fixed? Or should I stay well clear?

Maybe have a chat with these guys first. http://www.gazshocks.com/contact-us
As a few of the clio Trophy guys have found refurbing dampers with scored shafts can get expensive.

Have I got this right? Cgb are selling some ULTIMATE shocks are they any good when I looked on ULTIMATE website they seem expensive.. For a set are these any good? Well Iv bought them anyway as my apex lasted two weeks on 50mm drop..

Didn't bother in the end bud.. I'm saving for some new instead..

I got a set of Gaz coilovers that i got cheap as one was leaking, i sent them off to gaz and it cost me £150 for a refurb and new springs.

Is there any other cars that have the same struts as the 5? Got talking to a guy last night who dose drifting and banger racing and he has three sets of coilovers laying around off a Peugeot and Saxo vts.. Bit of a long shot but I thought I'd ask.. He has a mean e30 with a skyline engine init..

Back off into the garage for another set of front struts see how long these ones last :)

[Nottswoody]

So Iv fitted another set of front struts and in still not happy with the front steering feel Iv changed..

New wishbones
New anti roll bar bushes
New ball joints
New suspension hat and bearings
Only thing left is the tracked ends really am I missing anything else?

Tyre pressures?

Tyre pressures?

True it could be the 45s on the 16s it just feels loose when hitting warp speed :)

Wheel size for me makes a gtt feel different, I used to run 16's and found it made the car almost feel slugish when turning in, the trade off was that on long sweeping bends the grip was excellent.

With 15's the steering feels a little more responsive, with 13's on I was shocked at how nimble my gtt felt, but I found traction was massively less, the wheels would spin up much more freely even with only 160hp or so.

Lol I have 2sets of 16s and one set of 15s I'm NOT allowed to buy anymore or she will cut my dangly bits off I'm only runnin 154bhp and it spins already..

Found tyre pressures to high would make car twitchy at speed. Play with pressures and see if you notice a difference.
