Intrax Coilovers

[looch]

What happened today fella?

 

[DFB]

Sorry Looch, MF cancelled me. He was working on a race car that the guy needed that evening to transport and he said that this particular client likes watching him work, so it makes it a bit uncomfortable to give the time that he likes, to other customers.

Fair enough, I guess.

Very hard for me to get to him during the week though which is a pain. I'll see if I can shoot away early one day this week otherwise it'll be next Saturday. :-/

 

[looch]

OK fella...keep us informed :approve:

 

[DFB]

Will do's, mate.

You still undecided at the mo, then?

 

[looch]

I can pick up KWs for £1500 but for the sake of £100 if MF's are superior it may be worth thinking about

 

[Ali]

Just get the KW's and be done with it! Wee Lassie!

Looch,

Spoke to MF today for quite a while. We were talking about his days racing R5 GTT's. Turns out that one of my old school mates Dad used to race with him.

Anyways, I'm seeing him tomorrow at 12.00. I decided to cancel my diary and have a day out in the Vee. :race:

I'll let you know how I get on, if you want, you can PM your mobile number and I'll give you an update as soon as.

By the way, are those KWs fitted for £1,500.00?

coming out....
ordered a while ago and fitted the Intrax together with the Cup/Trophy lower suspension arms and solid top mounts from Mark Fish .
Since 6 weeks I'm driving a different car
Sharp turn in, stable in corners (no throttle response) and much less roll.
But difficult to tell in what way Intrax is different compared with the KW's - to touch on a sensitive topic.
The best way to find out... is.... to meet each other? :race:

Good news teun. How they compare to KW's... i'm not convinced you'd find anyone willing to push the car to the limit to find the definitive answer.

I'm personally delighted with the KW's and when i replace all the bushes next year, i think this will futher improve the feel.

KW's for me! They have eradicated our adverse tyre wear issues! :approve:

Can you be more specific on the tyre wear woody? Mine's wearing slightly more on driver side inside rear and I'm looking into suspension as an over-xmas holidays upgrade. Cheers

Matt, yeh sure. Both fronts and rear offside rear had bad negative camber, c1000 miles for a set of FK452's [smilie=icon_eek.gif] It's had camber issues going back years long before we owned it. It had been through a garden wall backwards, so something wasn't quite right [smilie=doubt.gif]

Lots of discussion took place as to whether Ph1's have adjustable camber on the rear and I was satisfied that they don't. So combined with that issue and wanting to start a fresh, KW's seemed a good choice.

Ktec fitted them and said the adjustment required to true-up my rear end would not have been possible with the standard set-up.

Tim,

Agreed. I went Poly on the 172, but also had them on the 7. It was miserable. I'm going OEM.
