MeisterR Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Just a general questions to the community. Many of us searching for high-end adjustable suspension are face with many choices. As it will be a huge investments for most of us, we all want to make sure that we are making the right decision. But ultimately, it comes down to prices and what we can afford. We would all love to ride on a set of Ohlins DFV, but at £2500 a set it is just a bit outside of the budget for many of us. So the questions here is what "High End" suspension do you think you can afford? How much is it? And why would you choose that over anything else in the same price bracket? As the keyword here is 'affordable', lets try to keep the RRP of the coilovers below £1500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Since you asked. I'll start off with: -KW V1 <£1000 -KW V2 <£1300 -KW V3 <£1500 www.motorsportworld.co.uk have these going for 10% less at present so even cheaper than the average price above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really is the V2 and V3 though. V2 is single adjustable, the V3 is dual adjustable, but both are Twin-Tube Dampers. So which one would you go for? And why?

V3's because they're the business to be honest (and I have them lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Nitron NTR R1, I come from a VX220 as a previous car. The serious enthusiasts and guys who race chose Nitron for their suspension setups, and frankly the build quality looks outstanding. (took a very close look at this years autosport). I myself used to have a set of two way Ohlins, but I did not pay for those the previous owner did. Or I undoubtedly would have ended up with Nitrons.

MeisterR Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Judging from the opinion, I will have something interesting for the Z33 owners. Should be good once I get them ready, but will take a little more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
