Is 1.8 16v and williams suspension the same?

[will.i.am.s2]

Idiots question probably :D

But will a Koni suspension kit (front and rear shocks) from a valver fit onto my williams?

In a nutshell ive been offered some at a decent price but am unsure if the shocks will fit the williams? The guy who's got them seems to think they will but im clueless here... :(

In short no its not.

Will it fit....yes

But it gives EXCESSIVE camber!

Been there done that...not reccomended car felt alive in the corners but tramlined on straights...also think a set of tyres lasted 4k if that!

Damn thought it was to good to be true :) Thanks dude

[16v_paddy]

The rears will fit with no problems though :wink:

[Coops]

if you know a welder whos handy could always cut the flanges off the old struts and weld them onto the new ones.................. pikey but do-able ;-)

or just drill new holes/widen the old ones

Thanks for the input guys much apreciated. Ive bought them now anyway as its worth what im paying just for the rear shocks (which i need badly) and i could use the just the front springs as they are koni aswell.

But Liking the idea of 'making them fit' as the are adjustables so would be worth the extra work :lol:

coilies? i have a set of fk coilies from a 16v and the upper hole isn't a hole but a slot so u would be fine :)

No unfortunatly not coilovers, these are the damper adjust only shocks for firm or softer ride :D I know what you mean thow i guess you could go the adjustable top mount route. I will wait until they turn up and then strip the williams suspension down next week and go from there.
