Williams suspension

[Jason]

I'm about to change my shocks on my wide valver.
I was thinking to use the std Willy shocks,
but they are not gas shocks, which is very important
considering the bad quality of the Greek streets

I'm now leaning towards Ultimate suspension (code ULRENA13)
It's French and not too expensive,
Has anyone tried it

I also have in mind JR (very cheap)
and KW Variant 2 (excellent but too expensive :( )

Please take a min to write down your own experience,
it would be very helpful :D

Don't know much about the non-standard suspensions you mentioned. I think most of the trick suspensions may make it a bit less comfortable than standard configuration.

IMO, if you replace all the rubber bushes and mounts, together with new standard shocks, the Williams can be quite comfortable over uneven surfaces. Some here also recemmened 185/55R15 tyres ove the 195/50s to reduce the harshness.

But if you need something a little harder to tighten the handling, Mark_Ritchspeed here has made-to-order coil springs (custom heights & rates) for the Williams.

I have JR coilovers (on my wide valver).......very stiff ride TBH

Handles just like a go-kart.......depends if, go-kart handlings your thing or not

Please tell me more about it...
How long do U have it on?
Is it fully adjustable?
Where did you buy it from?
Cost?

Please share any experience, it's means a lot

Anyone with Avo or Gaz shocks

[Winston]

I got the JR's from Hill Power £320

Only height adjustable

Had them on about 1 year........including new wishbones, ARB

1st at standard height, The car didn't handle as flat as I thought it would (still leaned alot in corners) but much better than my standard valver setup

2nd 60mm at the front/ standard height at the back, The car had loads of back end grip and would understeer (only if pushed very hard)

Now at 60mm+ on the front and 40mm on the back, This has made the car very stiff (and forced me to loose my bucket seats lol)......Handling is awesome tho........If you like no roll all thrills race style suspension

TBH, I wish I had paid the extra for the Avo's, The damping is good on the JR's but it not adjustable

[Jason]

ThanX for the info Winston :D

The price is realy good

How do U find the quality?

I'm thinking more to set like Jr21414k
or to a fully adjustable coilover

What do you think about Avo's quality,
Has anyone tried them?

Is there an official site fo JR

[Martin]

My old car is runnnig Avo's and they certainly do the job...I bought them for 420 quid. I also have experianced Gaz coilovers on another of my cars...stay clear they are will dint your bonnet due to excessive thread above the strut top!

I'll state the obvious in case nobody has told you or you don't know but williams shocks will not bolt straight onto a 1.8 without fitting the 2ltr wishbones/ARB/shafts

[Winston]

ThanX for the info Winston :D

The price is realy good................Yes...Bargain

How do U find the quality?............. Not bad for the price...you can remove the coilover part from the shock...I'll dig out some photos

I'm thinking more to set like Jr21414k
or to a fully adjustable coilover....... Avo's all day .....Gaz have dinted many a bonnet

What do you think about Avo's quality,
Has anyone tried them?....................Better than the JR's

Is there an official site fo JR ........Not with any specs

[Winston]

After a years use on shit english roads...not the best pics lol






Im lookin for more
