Right this has been asked a million times but I'm asking it again...

Coilovers for a williams..

- Need to be height and ride adjustable
- Not dent my bonnet
- Fairly priced - no silly money kits..

Overhaul time on the suspension as I was driving the 2 today and I was thinking, hey this cars coming together now brakes are getting nice and tight now she's running fine my arches are coping with the winter treatments till the summer..

Then I twat my head all over and tramline out of a smooth morrisons bloody car park!! Its ruining it a bit now - I want to go a little bit higher at the front so I have a better turning circle than a bus too :roll:

tramlining is when you are going straight andf hte car follows dips etc in the road, caused by fitting wider tyres or low tyre pressures, you mean understeered outa morrisons carpark?

No I wrote that wrong to be honest - I hate when pushing on a bumpy road the car bouncing all over and not being able to cope with the road..

Tramlining I'll deal with when Its time to get new tyres but coilovers are my main priority at the moment

Id say go for Avo, they seem the best all round package for the price.
Avoid Gaz coilovers, dunno how there described as suspension.

I have FKs on mine. Seems ok.

Not bouncey and horrible, infact it drives like standard setup, just stiffer and lower 8)

Just found the avo evo kit cheers - been looking on the avo webby and it states that it lowers the car a min of 25mm...

Does that mean that the shocks at full height will make the car 25mm lower than standard?

Then I assume that it can silly low after that...

Another quicky - do you just have to jack the car up and remove the wheel to alter the heights of the front? And I'm assuming the rears are non adjustable apart from the damping?

nah they defiantly sit higher then std fully up!

and they can go really low!, usually just a case of jack car up and adjust, just remember to low and u might not get jack out(if not using std car jack)

You can adjust the ride height with the wheels on.
