Cheap coilovers...

Also likened to comparing Heinze Baked beans Vs Co-Op own brand beans.....

They look the same, do the same basic thing, but are totally different.

basicly you're saying then is that they are good enough for the money but obviously you can get better,but just not for that price?

arent those ones the rear spring is connected the the shock? or are they seprate? just herd they were together which means extra welding around the fixing point on the body no?

we were offered these cheap kits at Vsport, rebranded as our own product. I wouldnt fit them to my daughters toy pram, let alone a car.

when droplink brackets can be bent by hand theres something not quite right.

As for a 2 year guarantee, thats good piece of mind but what happens when a spring snaps or a seal blows? they ask you to send the stuff back and then get a replacement to you within 14 days, what do you do for 14 days with no suspension? compare that to spax, bilstein, koni etc... they send a replacement next day if the items in stock and even pay for you to get them refitted and checked at ANY of their authorised fitting centres.

you get what you pay for....

So why don't you save money towards a car worth modifying as opposed to modifying a car which is not?
