I did not enjoy the ride of these and removed them. I replaced them with apex springs and im happy now.
Its really split 50/50 on opinions on these, some love some hate, i took a punt at them and i did not like the ride of them, there was a strange secondary bounce with them + when i removed...
I have the same bar the bilstiens as tuffty. I also have the polly front top mounts which lowers the front by another 10mm.
The ride is spot on apex for the win!
By they way i have had coil overs on my car as well and just did not like them.
172s feel flat, but when put up against other cars they do so well they weigh as much as a fag paper with 170ish bhp. I have owned 2 172s and loved them both, what made me get rid of mine was the cost of tuning vs power gains. You will need more than a mapped a3 for a clear win. Stick with it...
Not my cup of tea either, something just does not look right about it, i think the top line of the grille vs the line of the bonnet makes it look like the big grille is an after thought. I would save the money for something else.
Hi mate,
i do believe you have the same kit as me. They are 993 calipers on the front. are they these?
I was looking at replacing the disks, but due to the cost im going to change mine. If you do a search there is a thread that i believe Prawn started and there is a section that shows...
I have just removed my fk street coilovers from my s3 that i use as my daily, as i did not like the ride of them for how low i wanted the car. I was getting a crashing feeling when hitting bumps, and a secondary bounce feeling when driving faster bumpy roads, and it felt like the whole car was...
Ahh happend again, someone trying to race my through town!! really gets on my wick! Im not going to waste my fuel on a integra!!
Sorry rant over:thumbsup:
Bit of a pointless thread.
I wouls recomend reading, westys, stacys prawns and tufftys build thread (sorry if i missed any other good threads this is as far as i have got), in my opinion nearlly all the info + research + testing has been done to a hi level. i wish i had read these threads...
Mine does this every now and again.
One thing i did do was remove my intercooler and pipe work and flush it through as i had a fair build up of oily gloopy substance in there. Now i think about it it has not done it since i cleaned them out. I must invest in a catch can really.
Sorry not...
WTF going on er then!
Mate Strip it, track it, spend a **** load on it, enjoy it!!happy days!!
Just hide the bills from the missus, i find this gives me a quiet time.lol
