Anyone have some tried and tested brands?
Been looking around and the sets on ebay that were less than £500 are gone.
These seem fair considering you get the camber plates and pillowballs included.

But then Maxton's are cheap at just a little over £500, But I've never heard of them.

i can't complain about the FK ones I've got, the car is very planted under "spirited" driving, but a bit choppy on the open road

I wouldn't recommend coilovers for fast road application - unless you know a good dentist.

Not bad prices them, I'm thinking about coil-over as part of my future upgrades

I had KW varient 2s on mine, never again for a road car, on any kind of open road at speed I got a bit of bounce that hacked me off, lots of settings to play with tho but they are too hard for normal driving IMO

I've just had KW varient 3's fitted to our V6 Clio. Like people have said, gives a bone shaking ride but hell does it feel sure footed :biggrin: I decided to get them fitted as the rear was suffering from bad negative camber that can't be adjusted out with a normal set up.

I have KW V2 on my P1 V70 T5, the term awesome just doesn't do them justice. On the road and wet track they are on full soft, on a dry track I change them to full hard and they are unbelievable!!!
