Kopite Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 This is gonna come off my car due to clearance issues with where i live - i can't get on my drive as the car is a bit low. Lovely ride with this and the stability is amazing. It will need to go back to Chris for fitting as it's car specific AFAIK, looking for £500 delivered.

CJ Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Ro - interested here. What exactly comes with the sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 I'm replacing it with my Tein Flex kit from the other car so i'm thinking struts and springs, will investigate a bit more for you Col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 If it is complete with top mounts then I can give it a good home. How many miles on it my friend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Out of interest - what does Chris do .. to make his setup unique on a per car basis ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Should incude the top mounts, i don't know much about what Chris does, will email him and ask. All i know is that they're meant to be revalved Konis, does the job VERY well though! Mileage - no idea, came with the car, all done within the last year and a bit and the cars only on 44000 miles so hardly anything i reckon.

dandan Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 If CJ backs out then I'll definitely have it as my brother is desperate for some new suspension and this would suit him fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 No worries, i've emailed Chris, will put up his response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I reset the geo to work well with the spring rates I use. They will work OK on an N/A, but the ride will be firmer and the front may ride about 5 mm higher than on the heavier TT. I no longer can buy suitable base unit Konis, so use Bilsteins, but both are a superb damper, and I could rebuild both makes, if they become worn. At 500 quid this is a cheap kit, I charge 1250 fitted and set up for new kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Chris, in your opinion what are better for a firm but more comfortable ride without being too low (if that's a possibility!) Eibach and Bilsteins OR Teins Full Cheers, Greg PS - Have you managed to take a look at my car yet mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qaisar Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Chris what would you charge to set up this kit then to get an idea of overall cost? Also what would rebuild costs be if needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Have you been getting my pm's Kopite? I have the money here waiting to send you. I am going to US on Sunday night so would like to get sorted before then really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eibach and Bilsteins OR Teins Full Cheers, Greg PS - Have you managed to take a look at my car yet mate? Eibachs off the shelf springs are a bit too low, but good quality. IMO ther is absolutrly *NO* comparison between Bilsteins or Konis and Teins or HKS dampers, others may well disagree. C'est la vie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 PS - Have you managed to take a look at my car yet mate? Yes, but not to the full extent, my ramp packed up today, Laycock are coming in the morning to fix it (rip me off....???). You need at the very least new I/C pipes, ideally a new I/C. For now it looks as if chassis damage is cosmetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
