benjy88 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 oof, not even a comment... I must be barking up the wrong tree here haha 1 Quote
Ekona Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 No. Just... No. Why do you think you need different suspension? What are you trying to achieve? The easy answer here is to double your budget and get a set of the BC Racing BR:RS springs and dampers. Cheap suspension just ruins a car, and tbh no-one's going to sell any aftermarket suspension for your budget unless it's shot. Also, you already have coilovers on the front Quote
benjy88 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 I'm not sure how you consider 'doubling my budget' the easy answer... I'm trying to lower the centre of gravity of the car as well as improve the style of it. I also want to go drifting soon, so kind of necessery. I'm not going to buy 'cheap' coilovers, because I have no desire to buy new... but to buy some usedy BC's or something would be fine, even if they've done several thousand miles... Just look at the above poster, Ian, with his smarty pants comment. He got a set of Meisters for under £300!! I'd be so happy with that I would pee a little. Quote
mouthwash Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) Just wait until Ekona tells you how terrible my Meisters are. Edited November 29, 2014 by mouthwash 1 Quote
benjy88 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 To be fair dude, they do only retail at £800... cheap skate. 1 Quote
Pritchard Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Mouthwash, whats wrong with the MeistrRs? wasnt sure if that was sarcasm on your part. £350 is a very low budget. OEM replacements all round must be more than that? Springs come into your budget though.... Quote
OllyB Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) Budget for other alignment bits if your lowering? Edited November 29, 2014 by OllyB Quote

benjy88 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 Budget for other alignment bits if your lowering? Already thought about that The arms,etc, equipment is in a separate budget Quote
Ekona Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 I'm not sure how you consider 'doubling my budget' the easy answer... It is an easy answer. You have a £25,000 sports coupe, parts aren't going to be peanuts. Sometimes you really just do need more money to buy things. Sad fact of life. 1 Quote
benjy88 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 Indeed I do, but that's what this forum is for... The bargains I've had from buster, from Mattross etc... What I'm looking at isn't really out of the question. Even Vlad putting his HSDs up for circa £450, it's not a million miles away. I just need to bide my time I feel, wait for some kind soul to be getting theirs back to standard... I'm not in a HUGE rush. So in terms of needing more money, it depends really whether you're after something that is brand spanking, or if you're prepared to settle for some used ones. Quote
