Coilover choice dilema...

[Ollie RS]

my wallet is still deciding

 

[Benmc]

Just get v1's I've got them there class! And You can get bilstiens or how ever there spelt for the rs

 

[N0ddie]

The SPAX kit is a good looking kit for the money also.

 

[s22jgs]

spax always used to be one to avoid. have they improved these days?

 

[nkojic]

So KW V1 is good choice?

 

[Ollie RS]

anyone have a link to where you can buy the bilstein ones?

 

[M19TNR]

Are these the right ones for a 200 or just a 197?

I dont think they're for the Renault Sport's there used to be a 2.0 clio with less power than the 197. Thats probably why it states 2.0 16v

No Bilstein B14 for clio 197:

According to ktec they do

If you buy them from K-Tec and they dont fit, I'm sure they'll happily refund you.

well that doesn't make sense to me...

 

[N0ddie]

If they are that good, then its a chance worth taking imo.

 

[M19TNR]

Bilsteins are the dogs tbf....definitely worth taking the chance!

 

[Yiannis197]

Bilstein have never dissapointed. I'm after a set of coilovers as well Ollie, I was tempted to go for H&Rs, mainly because I found myself to be a victim of marketing pricing ie the more expensive the better (fully adjustable was never an option for me). Now that has changed my plans. Risk worth taking I believe, kind of safe IMO

 

[ryan197]

Well you can always ask ktec if they sell them

I always find bilsteins disappointing tbh. They're "ok" but nothing more on any car I've driven with them.

Hopefully more people will go for the Spax option gradually and realise what a great product they are at a bargain price.

 

[Yiannis197]

Spax wouldn't get good reviews in the past as far as I'm aware, I don't know if anything changed in the late years. Just checked with Ktec, incorrect listing for the bilsteins.

The spax ones being around the same price as those bilstiens seem like a bargain with the adjustabillity on them.

Are the spax inverted like the bilstiens?
