suspension

[hawkwind]

Right i need a suspension kit that is suitable for race use , Not to expensive as im on a fairly low budget. preferably a coilover type, but if theres a set of springs and shocks that are just as good then great. im prolly wanting to much but anything around the £500 mark? cheers guys..John

you dont say what car its for, i would suggest gaz in basildon a little bit more than your budget but excellent suspension, i think you can get it for around £700

[hawkwind]

woops lol, its for a 320 that will be running in production bmw

im sure the FK coilovers are £599 for the e30 but ive never used them so cant vouch for them performance wise.i dont think you will get coilovers for as low as £500 unless you look for second hand

[hawkwind]

Have just found the fk setup on another site for £560 quid seems to be the way to go atm...cheers for the unput guys

I would suggest that for the money you have to spend you should be looking for a second hand set to be rebuilt.

£500 isn't going to get you much in the way of a decent coil over kit. I paid just over £700 for my H&R kit direct from the factory. I think that's a good price

Just remember one thing .........''buy cheap, buy twice''

[Taffy]

Northloop hit the nail on the head, buy cheap buy twice, we're all on budgets but the shocks you choose will have a huge impact on your performance when racing, consider how much money you are actually spending to be out there and then put £560 into the equation and i think you'll find it's a fraction of the overall cost, a well set up car will always be faster than a car set up on a budget, personally I'd start at Leda and go from there, a tried and tested route, all the Kumho E30 run Leda as do alot of the PBMW as well, if you want to be competitive then you need a set up at least as good as the rest and I'd bet money on that not being fk.

Hawkwind, theres a very good deal on GAZ coilovers for PBMW drivers, details on Seloc. Alot of us are using them, Leda are as said a good bet, but are over twice the deal price and not twice as good

PM me or U2U me over there and I'll point you in the right direction, also a number of deals on many other items including winged seats(compulsory) from cobra
