Which coilovers?

Post 717909 by Wobbly Dave on 2014-06-10 00:15:59
I've always been dead set against them for the harsh ride they give on the road, however I think my car has already passed the point of no return, where any aspect of GT comfort is lost, since going down the GTX route with the turbo.
Just thinking out loud really & wondering which brand to get. Should I stick with Bilstein? My Bilstein B4s are about mid-life/ perhaps a little over.
And the other think is I wanted a lower stance/centre of gravity.

I think its time I started tucking a little bit to one side and getting myself something like that, as the handling department is lacking something as present

I've got gaz golds on mine, they're past their best so the rides a bit harsh but when you unleash the beast it feels like the old car is on rails. Will be upgrading in the near future once funds allow & after much research will be getting a set of KWs. BCs get good reviews from those that have them & are good value, the gaz gold are good but a bit delicate for general road use & the KWs although the most money seem give the best of both worlds, reasonable comfort with great handling. I'm working on the principle you get what you pay for & it still only works out about £350 a corner for th KWs so not too bad :)

Get those BC Racing ones. Deans car certainly does handle!! It was the set I was looking at for mine purely for that reason.

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. :eclipsee_

Greg had the original V1' BC's though. Not the same as the BR series.
I had the BR series BC Coilovers on my S70, and that is what I'll be fitting on my 850. Incredible value for money, they work extremely well, and the ride comfort is not overly compromised. When you take into account the new top mounts (fronts are camber adjustable), @ less than £700, they are a steal.
If money isn't a consideration, the new style Variant 2's are the daddy. Whilst maintaining superb handling, Mr Williams commented that on a day to day basis they ride just like a new modern car on the road. So I suppose you couldn't ask for better. But once you factor in new top mounts, they are over twice the price of the BC's. As much as I piss money away on my cars, it's not worth it IMO.

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!

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.

I can't remember TBH Pete.
I seem to remember that the first couple of sets they sent out as the test had a couple of teething problems, and they were also the not so good V1's, not the BR series. I had a set of the BR's on the S70, did loads of track days, and never had one problem.

So who if anyone is interested - I am in no rush so the lead time doesn't worry me.
Post 723125 by MoleT-5R on 2014-07-08 17:30:26
Sorry mate, but due to a majorly large commitment that has come along in between I'm out unfortunately, I had thought this group buy had died a death on price to be fair, not that I was worried by the price, but my new suspension will have to wait a while longer now. Good luck hope you get a good deal

Looks like I will have to end up buying these on my own :cry:

[QUOTE=Jamest5r;719941]I was expecting 20% ish off around the 670 mark ie 550 territory[/QUOTE]
From the BC site they are 770 - http://www.bc-racing.co.uk/applications/volvo-coilovers/volvo-s70-c70-v70-p1-97-00-850-855/br-series-coilover-type-ra-1.html
so I didnt think [COLOR=#333333]£615.20 inc vat, £9.20 UKL carriage was a bad price?[/COLOR]
Post 723424 by Jamest5r on 2014-07-10 13:17:37
Only 680 Inc vat and delivery on corby motorsport, and the same on larkspeed, shame bc started at 100 quid more before any discount
Post 723427 by Wobbly Dave on 2014-07-10 14:01:44
The ones on Corby are the V1 series - not the RA.

I was specifically looking at the newer model - namely the RA series, not the V1 (which I can only assume stands for version 1).

I sent them a cheeky mail
Post 723458 by martin_r_smith on 2014-07-10 17:46:30
I called the chaps at larkspeed and the best they can do is £650 with free delivery.

If the delivery didn't cost the earth I'd get them here....
http://bcracingsuperstore.com/bc-racing-br-type-coilover-for-98-00-volvo-s70/
With the current exchange rate that's around £580!
Post 724533 by Wobbly Dave on 2014-07-16 23:48:08
Well they eventually replied. Just a smidge cheaper but nothing to shout about.

Hmm id be interested at 599 starting to get fed up with the coilovers i have wrecked another top mount the other day and it looks like the passenger side one has a bit of movement
Post 725157 by Wobbly Dave on 2014-07-21 14:36:03
Any takers at 599? Personally I'd sooner pay the manufacturer the 615 given that I can be confident that I getting the genuine article.
Post 725158 by Jamest5r on 2014-07-21 14:38:16
I'm out for the moment, my spare monies is being spent on a.diff and.box :)

I thought that would be unwise to upset the relationship between the main dealer & supplier?

It would be 615 with a 10 week wait and we need 8+ people interested though, what wait is mad motors and what was the group buy numbers or is it just a straight discount and why can a 3rd party do a better deal than the manufacters. I'm interested in 599 or 615 to be honest but I dont want to wait 10 weeks as my current setup is already causing damge which is the reason for wanting to change but I dont want to wait to long and have to pay for a repair when i will be replacing the setup anyway
Post 725174 by Wobbly Dave on 2014-07-21 15:43:07
The amount of expected VPCUK procrastination I think it will be more than 10wks. Find me 8 people willing to buy - that's where the main issue lies.
Post 725179 by ExternalError on 2014-07-21 16:04:17
what was the mad motors group by qty was it 8+ or was it just an agreed discount price with no numbers dependent, I'll be looking to place an order somewhere between now and the end of the month, I have the cash as i was going to order a intercooler and downpipe but will get these instead as my current setup isnt great and I dont want to keep having to repair the strut mounts and spring seats.
Post 725197 by Wobbly Dave on 2014-07-21 16:37:58
I believe it was numbers dependent, but I can check.
Post 725206 by Wobbly Dave on 2014-07-21 16:52:33
Minimum is 5 & I double checked the version

You can't get them for 550 - you can set notifications on threads.
