| good price but "look" like raceland ones which have leaked in past...if you want a good setup stick with what people know. Billies for non coilovers, kw/h&r for premium and gaz for budget coilovers | |

| I've asked what brand they are so we'll see what he comes back with. I'm sure they look a bit v-maxx as well? | |

| TA technix is same as my manifold alex, same design as raceland products just built a little better "apparently"...so thats why my gearbox mount broke of the manifold then.  Raceland, Jamex, V-Maxx and G-max are all the same design coilovers only a couple of the companies use a different damper supplier but the dampers are utter shite being too soft and can give very unpredictable handling. Oh and they claim to lower to 120mm thats utter crap aswell because the top mounts they come with can only compensate down to 80mm max you have to change to Grp N top spring pan from AST or Pugsport. I did alot of reading up on these along with Gaz and H&R coilovers and the general Consensus was get a good quality non adjustable damper&spring setup if you don't wanna pay over £400. theres a great thread about these on 106oc makes for a good read. i'll try and find it.

| the problem being is there are far to many different types and it's easy to choose a shite one. took me ages of searching about to find me back at my original plan...buy Bilstein. | |

| TBH like i said yesterday they look like coilovers for coilovers sake. 'I've got a 106 on coilies'
Tbh the only one i've ever driven on coils was FAR to hard on the front, the cars are just too light to warrent coilovers. Unless your going custom with some nice soft ones like the City, just stick with Billies | |
