maff 10 Posted August 9, 2014 I've been looking at some lower end coilovers and ap have always caught my attention at £385 all in? Also just found some fk silverline at £460 also which have the stainless steel bodies which would last a bit longer, anything else I should b looking at for around £400?

Jim 2 Posted August 9, 2014 Folks will always say spend as much as you can afford on coil overs - cheap ones can give an extremely crashy / hard ride! But if the primary objective of this exercise is to make the car look better (rather than focussing on the drive) then either will be fine, though I think on balance I'd go for the FK's personally. If you can stretch a bit further the Bilstein B12 kit clumpy is selling would be worth a look - whilst they're not coil overs, they'll drop the car nicely and give a FAR better handling & ride than either of the coilover kits you've mentioned :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maff 10 Posted August 9, 2014 Yep I agree on the bilstein setup, strangely the best strut combo for a classic impreza driven on road was the prodrive bilstein strut and eibach spring combo, and you can send the bilsteins back to the factory for a refurb:-) Thing is my corrado is not a daily driver so I don't mind a hard ride for the weekend although this does goes against the all round ability of the corrado for me also:-/ The bilsteins looked a bit high in the ride height department for me in the pic he had up, and by no means do I want a stupid low car but for being able to control exactly where I want the car to sit height wise. Been there with struts and springs and been unhappy wtb ride heights Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
