Not a bad little 30th pressie...

[ColinG]

Wanted these since 2007 when I had my black Vee and I've finally taken the plunge as a treat for my 30th birthday! [smilie=yay.gif]

First and only UK mars on coilovers as far as I know!

To be fitted along with new discs and pads all round.

Oh, and Happy Birthday too.

Thanks Dulan! When are you aiming to get yours on?

Happy Birthday Colin, you will have to share your thoughts on your little present ( when you get them fitted )

 

[ColinG]

Cheers Phil!

Definately have them on by the 20th June so that'll be the acid test so to speak!

Hopefully will have the KW's installed for the Lakes Drive, but if not then definitely for Goodwood........Vee, coilovers and top mounts are all with Scott - will be collecting the Vee on 6th June, after we get back from hols.

Interesting Re: top mounts Dulan, not something I've considered. What's the benefit behind upgrading those?

Said to sharpen up the front end, and some have reported good things, so will be interesting to see how they fare on the road (first). Longer lasting than the rubber OEM ones anyway, and Pure Motorsport do some good stuff. K-Tec ones too are supposed to be good.

Colin don't waste the time putting them on yours to gather more dust, give them to me and I'll bed them in for you, like the my/your wheels they still look great thanks, however post the KW's this time, the don't fancy the trip again, for some reason.

Careful who you listen to. I wouldn't advise them on a road car. Track car yes. Make the car very hard! Front end is already sharp, if you want a bit more, dial in a little more negative camber.

Great kit Colin, mine are getting refurbed soon. Bit of movements in the Pistons...which is a little surprising after 15kmiles.

Happy birthday Colin [cmilie=iconcheers.gif] nice little present you've got there :approve:

Happy birthday are these the preferred choice of coilovers for the Vee then ?

For a long while they were the only choice. I believe there are alternatives now from BC?

 

[ColinG]

For a brief period until around 2008 H&R did a coilover kit, Mossy has them on his Phase 2, but they discontinued them and that was that.

My worry was that at any time KW would stop making these as well due to relatively small sales of the V6 coilovers. So it was time to make sure I didn't miss out!

I am going by my experience of rear-engined road/track cars that had solid top mounts (and strut brace) from the factory, and the recommendation of a specialist, so I guess time will tell, but feel confident that that is the right move rather than playing with camber. If it doesn't work on the Clio V6 255 then can always switch back.

All I can find are phase 1 from BC ? Do they fit phase 2 to ?
