Ive been looking all over at suspension kits, and reading endless threads about suspension, but I cant decide whats going to be best for the car, use and budget.
As you may have seen in my W.I.P thread I am building a nova XE. It will be used mainly for trackdays, and my budget for suspension is about ?500.
Now originally I started out looking at Avo coilover kits, but I have heard alot of mixed opinions about these, mainly concerning the front struts and problems with seals. However there are lots of people running these and seem to get on with them.
I have also looked at the Spax coilover kits, but not heard alot about these. Another setup I am thinking about are Bilstein premium sports, with the big pistons. These are not adjustable though and obviously this could be a factor if the damping is to soft etc, and I dont fancy buying several sets of different rated springs to get it right.
Sorry if this is a post that crops up alot, but would really appreciate some information and feedback on suspension kits people are using for trackday novas.
Many Thanks. Ian
