new boy here advice needed...

Recommended Posts

hi there not been a member of this forum for long and just recently bought a corrado vr6. i have had the car about 9 months and have done a few mods:- big brake conversion at front, induction kit, and a few styling mods inside and out. The next thing i am looking at is the suspension. Iam looking at buying coilovers but dont know where to start. Ihave abut 700 quid to spend give or take. I am looking for a kit that will give me a comfortable ride day to day and track days. Also i am looking at puting 17's on after, so what will be the best setup. Also would like a strut brace for the front (upper). Any advice wolud be great full. Thanx. 1994 Corrado VR6, :D

Welcome to the forum.

 

Suspension for that budget...

 

Koni ~£600

FK ~£550

Leda ~£800+

 

Search for "VR6 AND suspension" or "VR6 AND coilver*"

 

There isn't a great deal of choice for strut braces, but I would say make sure that all other areas have been sorted first before spending money on a brace. Engine mounts, ARB's etc.

Strut braces arent worth the money - better off spending that cash on uprated ARB's...

Ihave just moved down from scotland and dont know the area to well, i have been to awesome gti where i got my brakes done and found them really helpful. just anothe thing when i get the susp done i want to get poly bushes all round. can you give me some advice on ARB's (which you recomend) and also enrine mounts. Sorry for all the ?'s but i love the car and want to make it look and drive the dogs.

For the North West mate I would recommend Dubsport in Wrightington, Lancs - they have a good rep!

 

Kev is your man for the ARB's.... I think Neuspeed are your best bet.... wouldnt go for poly bushes as the ride will be very hard..

 

For suspension Koni's or FK's your best bet.

 

Change your engine mounts - vibra technics front mount - makes a huge difference am told - doing this myself when my engine comes apart.... :shock:

 

Cheers

If you've got £700 for coilovers, you might want to take a look at H&R collies..... I have it on good authority they are very good.

 

Yep I use Neuspeed ARBs but they're expensive (about £400 pair) so you might want to look at Eibach ones if that's a bit much as they can be had from around £240 a pair.

 

Cheers

Kev

Dubsport Fitted my FK coilovers, also poly front Bushes, plus laser 4 wheel alignment (a must) for about what you've budgeted. No complaints here.
