Guest Posted March 29, 2004 how much are they for the VR? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinsman 0 Posted March 29, 2004 mine were around 600 dollars Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 29, 2004 350 quid then. thought they might be cheaper than that TBH. coilovers are a little out of my price range atm, and the ride height is getting on my nerves, seeing all the lowered C's on here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinsman 0 Posted March 29, 2004 i couldnt afford the springs... :roll: i really didnt need them. They should get here some time this week. im very excited to feel the way my car will ride Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 29, 2004 do you mean the Top Adtustable ones? i have these with the matching koni springs on my VR6 and it feels great I second that. It is a good kit. Feels very similar to my Koni + H&R setup, which can only be a good thing 8) and a lot cheaper! K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinsman 0 Posted March 30, 2004 yea... when i do get springs im def getting the h&r's. Am i gonna like the way my car rides with just the struts? does anyone have just the koni sport top adjustable struts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted March 30, 2004 ha ha, you mean just struts and no springs :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 30, 2004 how much are they for the VR? the larkspeed set was £380 for the springs and shocks inc VAT hmmmmz, that sounds ok, what are they like? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted March 30, 2004 hmmmmz, that sounds ok, what are they like? well IMO there great. not as hard as i was expecting actually. i heard alot of horror stories about the koni's being too hard and that i should have got the H&R but after having them on for about 3 weeks im really happy and they are not that hard after all. Kevhaywire drove it aswell and as he said...there not much harder than his H&R springs Im still not quite happy about the ride height at the rear.. The springs are suposed to be 40mm lowerering springs and i set the rear shock on the middle setting (there are 5 height settings but you have to dismantle the shock to adjust it) but it is still sitting higer than the front infact its probably higher than kev's and his are only 30mm springs and he tells me his are on the one above the middle??? :?

Guest Posted March 30, 2004 you'd expect them to sit higher at the back, if you set the height the same on them, as the front is heavier :twisted: sounds weird that kevs is lower when the height is set the same, but if he's running a different make then that would explain it. Either that or its all that pornography kev carries around in his boot :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted March 30, 2004 well kevs shocks are actually set 5 mm higher plus his springs lower by 5mm less than mine....so in theroy his should be a whole 1 cm higer i think??!! i will get round to taking the rears apart soon and setting them to the lowest level which should drop mine another 1cm at the rear.

jedi-knight83 0 Posted March 30, 2004 ooohh, just checked the price again...now down to £369....go on you know you want to Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 30, 2004 gonna have to wait till next month for this I think, although it is starting to get to me (the ride height) I'm moving house this week, so need all the cash I can save Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
