Fitted kw v1 coilovers to my GW 197, its only done 21.000, during fitting i couldn't beleive it, but both my standard front springs were snapped, it was a clean brake on the third coil, has anyone else had or notice this problem
cheers Gav

ouch!!! what reg is it gav??

also how you getting on with the v1's?

 

[gavano86]

i couldn't believe it. 08 plate mate. my girl friends brother is a renault mechinc and he never saw that before. i got there in the end lol, coilovers are the way forward. i also got 25mm spacers and the handling is great, set it up lower at the front so car grips alot better mate

I see a lot of mk2's with broken springs, but no mk3's yet. Seems like it wont be long if this is anything to go by. Car looks nice

Looks well. We fitted my v1s Thursday. Not slammed it as much as yours as I do lots of A/B road driving. They are imo a little more harsh than the standard cupped set up, but nothing I can't live with. My springs were fine, 08 cup with 25k

Nice work

Looks spot on, love the 197 on colivers and spacers

How easy was it to get the old front struts out?

 

[gavano86]

cheers people. the front struts aren't to bad to get off. just the track rod end a pain lol. makes it alot easy if you have all the right tools Gav
