Bilstein B14 coilovers

[Spedem]

Anyone running these coilovers on a their clio? Been looking into them and they seem just as good as kw v3's but for a lot less. Anyone got any reviews of them?

Didn't think they were available for the 197/200..

 

[Spedem]

Found these on eBay, assumed they were the right ones?

I'm sure they are for the std Clio, iirc they were advertised somewhere for the 197/200 but it was wrong.

Sideways Danny (519 Automotive) has a special offer on Spax RSX coilovers, def worth a look.

There not for the sport model, they havnt made a kit yet. I love my KW's, go with them!

 

[Spedem]

Well that's gutting

Had my heart set on bilsteins, guess I'll have to look at kw's then

 

[Spedem]

Emailed bilstein regarding b14's for the 197. They will be developed next year so I'll wait for that

Sounds interesting. TBH everyone goes for KW, but thats maybe through a lack of choice (+ the obvious fact that KW are very good at what they do)

Should have some news next week about the Ohlins set up being developed at this very moment.

 

[Spedem]

Yeah I've heard nothing but excellent things about bilsteins, defintly going to be a good alternative to kw

 

[BenW]

I think KW will still be the better option for road, bilstein are more track orientated from what I've read.

 

[Spedem]

True, but I'm not buying coilovers for comfort. I want them for lows and improved handling. Bilsteins should give excellent handling with a slightly firmer ride than kw.

I know it's like asking about the length of string when things are under development... But, any vague idea of cost mate?

No idea whatsoever mate, all I know is that they should have some technical specs, prices and release dates for me next week. Obviously with it being Ohlins you get what you pay for so prob looking at the clubsport ballpark

Give me a text once you know please. :thumbsup:

I'm happy with my current setup but Ohlins are just out and out porn. I'm sure the Billies will be good too, I've used their ''tarmac'' spec' coilovers on a 205 and they were a huge improvement over what was on to begin with. Off the top of my head, the Ohlins units on the Aventador are around £3,000 per corner... But then they are basically full-on race jobbies on those.

Won't be that much for the Clio.. Lol, I'd be surprised if they were over 2k
