it all depends if ur gunna take the car on the track etc, as if its for normal road use, then u adjust the coilovers to the setting u want then u probably wont change the settings again. There a good bit of kit though :)

I have the same coilovers and ive had no probs setting them up, they are sooooooo easy to winde up and down to different heights and once camber is set its fine, and doesnt take that long, all you need are a set of gauges which most garages should have and tracking is just the same as normal!

i added different helper springs to mine as i couldnt fit them with my specific wheels but that aint hard either if it needs to be done , but 99% of people dont have to!

i paid £50 for fitting tracking and camber

the camber?

my local place done it and the tracking for 30 notes.

mine wasnt too bad tho..me and my mate lined them up so the wheels were kinda at standard angle if u get what i mean?

so allit really needed was a wee tweak

i have these on my astra coupe..they are shit hot.

camber is a cunt to do so local place done mine once i got the height set .

personally dont think they are that hard to adjust...i just measure on the shockie

but some of them adjustable top mounts and they will a dam lot easyer to set up...

otherwise there a pain in the cnut

and the tracking MUST be setup on a 4 wheel laser aligner... tbh i wouldn't bring my car near a garage that doent have one of these

I wouldn't do the job myself like, you need tracking and camber gauges - but BAT do - and thats who would be doing mine, and thats where Gaz should really go as well...?

thinking of buying Ians coilover's but was just wanting a general opinion on them to be honest

i have never had experince with coilover's - only had the last corsa lowered on Koni

and coilover's the best suspension?

can the ride (hard/soft) be adjusted?

would you say they were a good make?

if all goes well and Ian agree's i could have the cash by tomorrow/sunday...

HELPPPPP :rolleyes:
