Williams suspension

[2 live]

about 10-15 mm lower on the front, std height at rear

the beauty of the coilovers is that u run at whatever height u want..i could go about another 60 mil probs..or raise it another 40..choice is urs at the turn of the platform

Ok you've got my attention
I thought that, there is a drop of 50mm to begin with...
Meaning that the overall lenght is shorter by a few mm

You can actually keep the original hight
Also could you explain this for me;
"the kits use Grade A race spec 2.25 l/D coil springs and are complete with dust covers...."
Is this (2.25 l/D) refering to the springs stiffnes, like lbs?

upto a 50mm drop.......iirc you can run them higher than standard.....I can on mine

The JR's are upto 80mm

thatl probably be the Intrenal Diamater of the springs mate.

meaning that for £20 or woteva, a set of 2.25 ID springs can be had that are stiffer/softer/more progressive, i.e with a twin spring set up, one short soft, one longer stiffer, etc etc etc


options are pretty much endless tbh


mine runs the std springs that came with the kit, car sits so wing is just nice n level with the tyres on the front, with about clearnce for 1 finger


will get a pic n show u tomoro

A helper (softer) spring would be a good addition
I'll catch up with those pics later

ive had problems with my avo coilovers on my valver, ive had them 2months and both front shocks they have started to leak also put a dent in 1side of the bonnet. rear shock came undone while driving losing nut and sleeve for rear shock bush. now both shocks need to go back to get fixed leaving me with no car till they come back :(

i use to have AVO coilovers on mine, after 3 month a seal in the coilover unit split and pissed all its fluid out but AVO replaced it free of charge, def handle well with them, but i decided to fit std shocks back on but with uprated springs, now have the choice of 165lb or 200lb, both std height, prefer std feel, although the coilovers could be set to very soft, softer then std lol was like a jellyfied williams!

well just had a bit of a comparison with jesus last night, ok so i know the road well, and jesus doesnt, but i also know that his driving ability is id say on a par with mine, and his car is def faster at the mo, so that shud more than even it out..come to twisties...bye bye jesus.....hehe



coilovers.........there is NO substitute

coilovers.........there is NO substitute

sorry dont agree (constructive arguing lol), i feel that the std suspension renewed with better springs/tyres is more then a capable match, a car being more 'flat' dont mean it will handle better, the williams wasnt regarded as one of best handling hot hatchs for no reason!

besides we like 3 wheel action lol
