Which Suspension

[ice]

Im looking at changing my suspension next week but not sure which 1 to go for. Im ponding over the following:
1) Bilstein
2) Spax
3) Koni
Is it worth getting the coil overs?
Is it worth getting the camber kit?
Where is the best place to get the kit from?

Im changing also at the same time.
1) Wishbones ( complete with bushes and ball joint )
2) Drop links

Cheers for the advice in advance

i would say bilstein set up camber kit would say yes and wishbones and links would also say yes unless there alright

well i got the koni kit and think its awesome,but the bilstein kist are good too.
but if your gona get a full kit,check who makes the springs for bilstein, as koni changed to Roc from vogtland,personally aint tried the roc srings but the vogtlands had a gd rep

coil overs start at 450 for fk but can go over 1200 for the calibra because of the rear suspension, i would recommend the koni kit as any vauxhall i have sat in with a koni kit on it made the car handle like it should,

the camber correction kit a must, powerflex is the cheapest iirc as it will protect the transfer box

change all the bushes for powerflex you will have a car that sticks to the road

will i need a camber kit even if im only lowerng the car by like 35mm?

You better believe it unless you like forking out for tyres every few months, and also forget about 4x4 holding up for long.

Where is the best place to get a camber kit and roughly how much is it?

[dj_smurph]

powerflex do the bushes -demon tweeks? cheapest bushes

wallace performance is about £125

irmscher is about £200

[ice]

125 is better than 191 lol and that was from autovaux

av just fitted Bilstein's(sprint) with eibach springs, not to hard and handles nice.. last calibra had g'max kit with camber kit, sat and handled nice to, only reason got billies etc on now is a good buy of ebay

[ice]

ecossem do you have the camber kit with the billies?

[ice]

oh and where did you get them from? private buyer or retailer on ebay?

[ecosseM]

no, wheels look like sitting ok.. the thing about the camber kits is.............. finding someone with a 4 wheel camber setup system, ad look into that one before you jump in and get one fitted. i fitted onto old calibra because when fitted the gmax kit is sat on its arse and made both rear wheels scub alot.. i actualy ended up with regal rear springs with a 20mm drop, coz with the camber kit on, it can iether raise or lower the car when set

my local tyre dealer has the 4 wheels lazer tracking and camber adjustment system they did my corsa before as it had camber adjusting bolts on the front....

Courtenay sport ill give them a buzz in the morning i always get a good deal from there lol
how much did you pay for your billies?
