Which coilovers?

[stribo]

There are 2 types for my model year - which one?

Looks like the second set are stiffer on the rear, if you'll pardon the expression.

Dave I'm sure you remember my red R on KW's. ROFL. Trust me the set on my silver T5 are infinitely better than those!

The newer KW's on my silver T5 are different to the set on my red R. They have changed the design over the years deleting the helper springs and presumably changing the spring rating/design, I called KW to check they weren't missing and they confirmed they no longer come with them. The other point is the red R was slammed and ran 18's with 35 profile tyres. The silver R is lower than standard but not slammed and I run 235/40 17 tyres.

Greg had BC coilovers and is now running KW's. Food for thought!

I'm at the MRG/T5D5 track day at Castle Combe next Friday, come on down and have some passenger laps. That invitation is to everyone on here as well.

I'd love to come but I am severely restricted on movement at the moment. Perhaps next year.

Set of them and a diff are the next things on my shopping list

Group buy?

Yeah but which one's is more appropriate?

The first one's, as they're in stock.

Worth a shout, me, you and wobbly for starters only need a couple more for some sort of deal I would imagine

[Wobbly Dave]

See if our friend Adam - of Volvaxo fame can't have a quiet word

Yep im sure Chris said he's going to get a set

[stribo]

I'd like a set, just depends on what price can be negotiated.

[S70T5Chris]

I haven't bought mine yet. Originally they were on T5D5 as a group buy @ around £570 IIRC

If we could get that deal again can you remember how many were on the group buy

[S70T5Chris]

10 or so i think. May be worth someone contacting BC direct to see if they can do it again.

It was when they first developed the kit for our cars though, so they may not require as many people this time round? If they were willing of course!

[Nealevo]

Ill have some too if its a group buy

I think I was reading that thread today lol from 2011, can't do the link on my phone but if Google bc coilovers 850 the thread comes up for those that want a read

Dave I got mine from Option Auto house for £670 They may do delivery for a little more it took 2 days from order to me picking up

[Wobbly Dave]

I will make contact - and let you all know what they have to say.

[hybriduno]

I have got the ball rolling, thanks for the contact Dave, as a bc racing sponsor I have the right inside contacts lol

Can only back up what Redbrick said, i have KW v2s set at a sensible ride height with them 1/4turn off full soft and there spot on, normal driving you'd never know the car was on coil overs, we've done some lengthy trips to europe driving for 20+ hours and even on poor sections of Spanish motorway its never been comfortable and certainly not harsh. As for handling its like driving my old track ready Saxo just a bit longer and heavier.

[Wobbly Dave]

Adam, I really appreciate the help. I am happy to commit the this. If anyone else is in then put your name under here.
