have you been for mot yet with no helpers?
#6: Re: Coilovers Good Ones Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Tue Oct 01, 2013 9:37 am ---- What's the point? Doesn't matter how good they are if they are just on the bump stops just get cheap ones and ruin them.
Also helpers are irrelevant for MOT as long as the are secure whilst the car is sitting down, as appose to jacked up.

So do all good ones just f**k when lowered all the way down?

Aside from the quality the extra cost comes from the time and money invested into maximising the component's performance - making the car sit on the bump stops just seems to make it all pointless so you may as well just some cheap ones.
My opinion anyway..

See what you saying i just hate the banging noises and that
#10: Re: Coilovers Good Ones Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Tue Oct 01, 2013 1:56 pm ---- Expensive ones will bang if you have it that low - there is 0 suspension travel

Life then of a lowered car
#12: Re: Coilovers Good Ones Author: Mr-Tigger, Location: EssexPosted: Tue Oct 01, 2013 2:18 pm ---- have to agree completely with harry. if you're gonna be sitting on bumpstops anyway id get cheap coilovers and a good set of lower arms and top mounts instead to take the beating
#13: Re: Coilovers Good Ones Author: Zack, Location: NorthamptonshirePosted: Tue Oct 01, 2013 2:20 pm ---- So powerflex rubbers and just new bearings for top mount?
#14: Re: Coilovers Good Ones Author: Schumi, Location: Istanbul / TurkeyPosted: Tue Oct 01, 2013 2:29 pm ---- Do you want decent good quality coilovers. Look Gaz Gold, KW Variant 2 or my prefer Bilstein B14.
