Ray1965

Fitted new AP Coil overs. No major issues set just below standard height for the next 50 mile for them to settle then will adjust to around 30 / 40 mmm drop.

Did you get yours Sanky?

Ray1965 where do you live mate? I'm at Aston SY and happy to help in between having my kids. ..I've had my suspension off the car 3 times in the last year, although not coilovers

Cressa i'm in Rotherham so not too far away from you. Thanks for your offer will see what happens later in the week, as i'm working this weekend.

Ditto :) Hoping to get them on the car over the next couple of weeks sometime, subject to getting some help from Tempest :)

Nice one Jim, i wish there was someone local to me who could give me some help as well.

Received my coil overs today, now to get em fitted. :thumbleft:

Ordered top mounts and various bolts, etc from AVS earlier today and they've already been dispatched. Great bunch to deal with every time!

Got mine from AVS, fronts with bearings and rear set. Very good service.

I need to give him a ring before the end of the day!

All done and ordered ! Let me know Jim when you get yours. :thumbleft:

Cheers Jim, will drop DPM a line and get them ordered.

Got my top mounts and rear mounts delivered this afternoon as well so all good.

Damian just confirmed he is happy to offer us a further 5% off the RRP bringing them down to £337.25 :) That is if all three of us commit to buy.

Thats great every little helps.

I'm ready to buy asap np, i need to get them on the car in the next few weeks.

What did he say with delivery Jim? separate address?

I think that would be the only potential stumbling block :( That said, Roose Motorsport were willing to knock a few quid off for a guaranteed couple of orders shipped to different locations, so all we need to do is ask.

Just ordered front and rear mounts from AVS, £29.82 delivered next day.

Also I've phoned DPM today and he said he will try to do us some discount.

I've PMed you Jim for the details he requires.

I've been looking at these coilovers as well, think they work out that little be cheaper from here. With shipping charge included.

Do you think we should try and ask for a discount, if there are a few of us buying together?

That might be a good idea tbh, how would they do the delivery, would they deliver to separate address's, and still give us discount?

Think i will be going with AP Jim, good reviews fitted to the Corrado. Will need to sort the top mounts out as well. TPS or AVS.

Yeh mate easy job I replaced the high-pressure sensor last month, 24mm socket with a long extension bar. My lad helped me to guide it on the sensor from underneath.

Where you ordering from Ray, and what price? Thinking of taking the plunge on these myself.

Hi Jim,

Awesome GTI are doing them at £355 https://www.awesomegti.com/shop-by-brand/ap-suspension/ap-coilovers-volkswagen-corrado/

also Mad Motors bit cheaper at £345. http://www.madmotors.co.uk/ap-coilovers-vw-corrado-2-0-1-8-g60-vr6.html

Will have to look into the delivery prices, they might even price match one another. Its the top mounts that might prove a bit harder to source.

Will be ordering my new AP coillies later this month, also will be replacing all the top mounts all round, any one advise on where to buy etc?

Cheers for the info Sean, any tips and potential hic ups to look out for when fitting the coilies. I know i'll have to have the wheel alingnment set back up.

To relight this old post i did. I'm going for a set of AP coil overs in the near future. I will be changing the top mounts as well, anyone recently replaced there's, where's the best place to buy from and what make etc.

Hello and welcome from South Yorkshire. Road trip and half, enjoy the car :thumbleft:

Threads merged.

I put in general chat Jim, didn't see the first post, was moved here.

Big price tag on it btw.

And now for something entirely different....

So you got the problem sorted thats good. Amazing what a clean can do even though the contacts may look clean. Hope the problem stays away for you :thumbleft:

I replaced the ECU relay and the fuel pump relay last year, went down to Euro car parts and they got the part mumbers, with no bother. Failing that what about TPS?

When i had a CV joint go, i drove round in both directions on full lock listening for knocking and clicking noises

Or could it be a drive shaft / cv joint? just thinging.

Rear engine mount?

Yep, agree with Chris check the rear mount to rule it out.
