I Paied ?450 inc Delivery. They Feel like a good solid set. There Height and Damper adjustable. and Hopefully they should go on without problems. ive never fitted coilies before, but ive got a mate who decked many Mk1 golf's. So ill have a crack at it 2mo! Ill let you know what i think.

Cheers Josh:thumb:

[J4MES]

Look nice!!!

[nova_Tom]

ooooh gimmie gimmie lool..looks good mate, looking forward to seeing the end result.

Look good?

I'd pass judgement after encountering a UK road surface with them tbh.

[cooltom31]

my mate has just bought these and is disapointed with not having the back low enough. cos the rears are just 60mm arent they?

[craig green]

Same with many coilover sets tbh that just keep a std seperate shock & spring arrangement.

Send the springs away to wound down tighter.

[Jack]

^ If they're RSX, yep fixed 60mm on rear.

My hatch was dubbed "Boneshaker" after putting spax RSX on lol

Adjustable coilovers... standard nova front suspension IS coilovers lol

they should get the car a tad closer to the deck.

i've got them on the corsa, and are very comfy imo..

not that hard, unless you stick the stiffness right up :thumb:

[Adam]

Nice one.
Ive heard Spax are hard as fook even on the soft setting lol.

?450 is quite a price tho(almost Avo/Gaz price), a guy was doing new sets on CorsaSport a while back for about ?230....

[Ste L]

Nice one.

mine dont feel much hard than standard on the softest setting :confused:

[Jcb]

In regards to an earlier post, how much does it cost to have springs wound down approx? And how much can you do them by?

[Jack]

coilsprings.co.uk should be able to re-wind springs to your requirements.

[trackdaynova]

I run my RSX's on 23/28 hard and they're fine :D :thumb:

[dannyb]

not that hard, unless you stick the stiffness right up :thumb:

I would only set them to half as stiff as they'll go (or less), then you can always wind them up stiffer once they begin to get a bit more tired and get a second lfe out of them :thumb:

[Jcb]

Cheers Razor.

Worth a look!

[DTR-DEVIL]

They are indeed RSX's. Although im not after to deck my car, just simply tucked into the arch a tad.

Atm the ride quality in my mk1 is Sh!t to be honest (although handles well for just a stripped out 1.2). so even if these are a tad better on the comfy side i cant complain. interesting to see if it increase's handling any more. cant wait, gonna fit them 2mo

Cheers
Josh

[Steve]

Looks like a good buy, as said though might be worth messing about with the stiffness to suit.

A mate of mine has them on his XE and they must be on the hardest setting as they're too much for a road car! lol

ive got a set of these on the saloon and have had them for a few years now. im still really happy with them and as for the ride i have no complaints. i was doing 100 ish on a private road the other day and suddenly thought to myself just how planted and safe the car felt
