Technix cilovers

[bola]

Anyone heard of them? Looking at some atm really cheap but dont know whether to stick with my springs & shocks? They are for a 1.4/1.6 corsa B so will they fit my nova 1.2?
Also if these are no good, what cheap coilovers are?
thanks

[draper]

with coilover you get what you pay generaly

do you want coilovers just so you can go mega-low or so it handles spot on ?

[bola]

mega-low really, still want it to handle well too. Not too well though as its only a 1.2 so doesnt go anywhere too fast. Also noticed i cant spell lol

[Stuart]

how cheap is really cheap?

[bola]

On ebay £120 BIN, only at £100 atm though.

mega-low really, still want it to handle well too.
Thats not really possible.

You can even have it mega low OR normal low with good handling

[AlexW]

Agreed^

120 BIN christ! They will NOT be up to much lol

[AlexW]

Why not just fit elastic bands, im sure they would work better than them! lol

These (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CORSA-B-1-4-1-6-16V-TECHNIX-COILOVERS-20mm-120mm_W0QQitemZ300242521947QQcmdZViewItem?hash=ite m300242521947)?

You never know until you try something wether its any good or not.

Just be prepared to chuck £120 down the drain finding out.

IMO cheap suspension is a false economy, but I'd love to be proved wrong or be shown some coilovers at that price that perform!

[L14MNP]

Yeah ^ they may work, but can't see them offering a good ride, or lasting long before they drop their guts lol
As said, it would be nice to find some that are good for little money though, but going from other cheap crap out there (more expensive than those too) they won't cut it.

[Adam]

TBH, for the cash there fine.
I mean £120, a set of dampers and lowering springs 2nd hand would cost that......
Even if they dont massively improve the handling, they should adjust quite low as they look to have a lot of threaded section on the strut body.

[bola]

Well i currently have Craig greens old shocks & gmax 60 mm springs. Just wanted it a bit lower really. How much do you think i would have to spend to get some that are good(ish) as i said i dont need anything too amazing as its not exactly running high power!

[Adam]

A guy on Mig had/has a set of front Spax coilovers for sale for about £110 delivered iirc.
And spax are quite good :)

[Martin]

they look like PI or Gmax coilovers.. WTF arte Techinx pmsl
