Williams suspension

[Jason]

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!

Ok this is me been Greek
quid = pounds?
Gaz are too stiff, so top mounts are worn quikly?

Winston, looking good
Question; you had the subframe painted blue

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

Thanx for the tip, but I already have these installed
The only prob is that I used megane/R19 ARB which is not the best choice,
cause it's a bit wider between bends and sometimes it hits on the subframe
I'll try to get some pic to show you what I mean :D

Thanx everyone

[Winston]

Thank you :D

I painted the subframe when installing my manaul steering rack

quid = pounds? yes
GAZ ....The top mount thread sits to high and puts dints in the bonnet

Does your subframe come from a Willy?
They're suposed to be better-stronger

manaul steering rack
GAZ... that's ridiculous. I'd be prised if that happened to me

Which R19/Megane model did you get the ARB from? From what I know the R19 16v ARB is the same as a williams one, as is the phase 1 lesser-spec meganes. Its the non-16v R19 ARBs and 16v/cabrio megane ARBs that are different

I have removed the Power steering and down graded to a lower spec clio manual rack

A Williams subframe is double skinned....I have used a Valver subframe because its lighter lol

I wouldn't know the model exactly
cos I got it from a used parts yard

Aparently the "A" length is longer in the R19/megane

.......|<----A---->|........

that has as a result to hit on one of the screws of the subframe



Winston how does the parking procedure feel like :P

Heavy!!!!!!!.....But I need the work out (cheaper than the gym) :P

[Jason]

Wise thinking

It seems that the Avos are a good VfM
but they give a massive drop (-50mm)
that i don't quite like

[2 live]

i have the AVOs on mine...have had them fitted for the last 2 years or so.

never had any probs really after id set them up to my liking.

they corner as flat as u like, hardly any body roll, but still retain quite a lot of comfort, turn in is sharper, sweeping bends feel more stable at higher speeds, car feels a lot more progressive when its letting go.

only real downside is mine has a slight tendancy to under steer, which will be sorted once i get the car to myself, n not having to cart the mrs n kids etc evrywhere in it, then i can go low at the back too hehe

[Jason]

That sounds good, but I'm still kind of scared of the greek roads...
How low are you running?

I've also read that you'runnig with 2.0 cams on a 1.8 head,
or so
Could you pm me with some details
ThanX
