What are people running?

I know that coil-overs are the ones to go for it you have the money, but what about a set of lowering shocks and springs?

So who's running what??

KYB AGX Adjustable Shocks with Eibach progressive lowerings springs. Only lowers the car 0.8" which is perfect as i dont want to lower my car, i just want a better feel and handling :D

Mines standard:(

Any I've left off let me know;)

The KYB AGX & Eibach combo is probably the most popular aftermarket setup.

I have Tein S-tech springs and KYB Shocks. I considered coilovers but didn't want a hard ride. I also have fully adjustable camber parts too.

I also have fully adjustable camber parts too.

 

Seconded :D

im running Tein RA's, set to just over halfway towards the hardest setting and its surprisingly a comfy ride but, that might be because im used to it now;)

 

 

:)

i wont put coilovers on mine... too harsher ride. kyb agx and avo springs for me

How much do these various setups cost? I'd like to lower mine slightly, but currently have no idea what sort of costs are involved (I take it a bit more than my mini which cost about £80 to get the adjustable height!)

If you're wanting to do everything, springs, shocks, adjustable camber arms and tension rods (highly recommended) and other sundrys such as shock boots, gaskets etc, you're looking at 10x that amount! LOL

ive got tein monoflex and the rears are set on the hardest, makes ourlasses tits hurt by the bouncing about lol, i can even feel my double chin wobbling about lol

Allan... thats not a good thing mate... (well the bouncy tits are :D)

Do your tits bounce as well Allan? :wack:

New springs, shockers, front adjustable bits, rear adjustable bits, new anti roll bars, fitting (done by myself with the help of a very good friend who is a experienced mechanic!) and fully laser aligned! Cost me well over a grand!!! :eek:

 

WELL worth it tho :D

 

Oh and the adjustable front and rear bits i got on a group buy DTA arranged and saved hundreds!!! Alot more otherwise for proper powertrix stuff!

My parts came to about £1k too.

£1500 for Tein RA's

 

 

:eek:

i have tein ha's but with harder rated springs and aluminium top mounts.

i got my monoflex for £400 off fleabay, im too lazy to set them too the medium setting, i also have no clue on how to do it lol

erm u spin the little rod on top of the shaft, takes the best of 4.3 seconds per corner...

Will obviosuly take alot longer if you have to take all the rear plastic apart, thats why i cut a neat hole in each of the rear plastic covers.

Thanks chaps, gives me some idea of how long I'll have to wait!

Can i change my answer? i now have lowering shocks and springs :)

Ksports coilovers cost 400 ish

 

plus adjustable camber front and back. I want to get the SPL lower arms and front fender braces also.

Ive got a set of second hand tein mono, just need to get my finger out and fit them :smash:

Always had coilovers on mine!

The first set was JIC and then I had to replace the rears with a set of Gaz.

Since the new rebuild to Zed I have a set of Buddy club race spec which I have just had refurbed.
