Ive heard both sides of the story for these coilovers.

1 persons says they are liek factory style steup, so really good ride not to harsh, but firm and repsonsive to drive.
Then i hear they are hard as fuck. which is what i REALLY dont want.

Plus spacers put me off. also arch clearence may be an issue then too


from what ive heard dude koni shocks are like driving in metal bars very very harsh.

but i could stand corrected.


i can confirm this with eibachs -30mm and higher poundage courtenay 2.0L springs.

No, those people with ET45 have wheels that are 3mm closer to the suspension components. You also make no mention of wheel width. If your rims were 7x18 ET42 and someone reads that and wants them to fit OK with a 7.5x15/16/17 ET45 then they'll probably get a nice surprise when the stuff is fitted.


I may be wrong here, but was just thinking about this comment. WHen u say et45 will be 3mm claser to suspension strut..will it not be the opposite of that and actually 3mm further away, as when you see neds with et38 alloys bought from halfords, the wheels always stick out of the arch ??

Prob wrong...just seems logical.

Exactly higher offset further from the strut, thus us with ET45 may need 3mm spacers to make the wheels like ET42.
