Apparently they dont do them so i have heard.
The rally cars used them iirc though, but they would be silly money lol.

Didnt Mark Ritchspeed run Bilsteins though?

well coilovers are no good cos i dont want to go lower than 25mm.

i got a budget of bout £450, just trying to find sum shocks other than OE , because my williams is lowered the back shocks could do with upgrading.

are u sure stew u can set them at 0mm if i wanted, i only ask cos i spent a whole afternoon ringing about various places and they either said no you couldnt or the didnt know :roll: .

its the main reason i decided against coilovers.

my AVOs are at about -10mm ......i have about 30mm of adjustment up.....as well as more down. so could go as low as 50mm lower (guestimate) and 30mm higher than std setup.


choice is yours. but they come recommended by me. :wink:


bilsteins/konis/spax/h&r were not available for the williams wen i got mine, altho most were for the valver. rears are same as valver in the avo kit i believe, but the fronts are obviously williams fitment only.

brun after ringing 4 different branches and inbetween hanging up on me a few times, feeding me rubbish a couple times , the best i got out of them was that 'bilstein do the rear shocks but we dont stock them'.

if u know a branch that does , i can give them a go.

2live thanx for that its exactly wat i wanted to know bout coilovers, seems like its only the avos that have that much adjustability.

had my heart set on the kw v1 , seem to bevery good in regards to corrosion etc, but dont know wether to risk getting them and then finding they dont adjust to the hieght i want :?

not sure who told me once but the only quality standard shocks were by Avo ive tried but never found williams specific bilsteins anyone that states for 16v/williams in their ads are lying

i,ve got leda and they adjust both up and down. but as they all run 2.5 coils you can get these in any spec i.e length and poundage you want when ordering the ledas as there made buy eibach for leda.

H&R coilovers uses Bilstein dampers.

Else i would go for Avo or maybe Gaz?

Got Bilstein for my Clio, but it's original Renault sport Group N dampers.

thats cool brun :)

from the gist of wat i got from them, i reckon they used to do them but they dont no more, maybe bilstein stopped doing them.

will just look to get either standard or avos,
