Sandals Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I suspect the eBay ones will be inferior in EVERY way. Build quality, comfort, reliability etc... You get what you pay for. I think the average price for a good set of coilovers is around the 600 mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirspidey Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I wouldn't know from a technical point how they differ, but I agree with sandals. I'm a firm believer that 'you get what you pay for' and 'buy cheap, buy twice!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swino Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I had a set of them cheap ones made the car a nightmare to drive was a horrible ride on the road every bump they would bang after 1 week they had rusted I would not advise anyone buy them as said you get what you pay for Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 http://shop.scoobyclinic.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=61_135&product_id=339 or tein http://shop.scoobyclinic.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=63_163&product_id=796 No point in going mega high suspension and tbh i;d be tempted to go aftermarket shocks and lowering springs instead, fit, geom and forget plus more compliant for crappy uk raods 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 As above if you are doing most of your driving on the road go for uprated shocks and springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seminole81 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 For price, upgrade shocks and lowering springs. No adjustability, but better ride IMO. That's what I'm planning on doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 - you could get adjustable damping if spent a little more on the struts, that will make a difference on the roads as when on the hardest setting they can be very firm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
