Best suspension kit for <£500

[Baz300]

What is the best suspension kit for under £500?

I dont really care if it's coilovers or just a suspension kit

Any ideas?

[E30Dom]

Coilovers?

Think you're looking at AP...

If you can stretch a little further and want adjustable damping... look at GAZ.

Not sure about suspension kits...

[Baz300]

Yeah I did look at ap's but not 100% sure of them
Not too fussed about adjustable damping

Been doing a lot of searching but most items I find are from a few years ago when weitechs were around £480

I could stretch a bit further but think some of the prices are ridiculous, I was only a couple of hundred quid for konis a few years ago for my Cavalier

Weitec Hicon GTs are quite good. very happy with mine

speak to Damian@DPM Performance - he'll advise you based on your budget/requirements. they're usually the cheapest too, and have price matched if not in the past

The weitechs are £620 so well over my budget
Got to factor in fitting and a 4 wheel alinment to the cost too

[E30Dom]

Been alot of happy people with AP's... Speak to ED@APS.co.uk he deals with AP i believe and does perfect 4WA.

He is a bit far away from me as I'm in the north east of Scotland

Best alinment place in the area is behind  my work so very handy, I would be able to fit them apart from the front drivers side as it looks like you have to split the hub the get the shocker out

ah sorry about that, they used to be around the £560 mark not all that long ago (with free postage from DPM)

[Baz300]

I would of stretched to £550 for something decent

The ap's look Good quality but too many mixed reviews of them, do get a 2 year warranty with them so can't be too bad

My vote goes to a bilstein b12 kit. Not coilovers but I would prefer a top spec fixed kit than a low spec coilover kit any day

I have AP Coilovers on my Manual Ed30 and love em! The ride feels near enough factory and the cost me £450 brand new

Only thing that puts me off them is that it's only a 20mm drop
I don't really push the car too hard anyway just drive at a good pace

How long have you had them on for?

I keep swinging towards the ap's and have found them for £450 deliverd too ( which is good for an Aberdonian )

Once I was happy with the height I doubt I would want to adjust them

Spent the whole day looking into things and still not made my mind up!

Took me 2 weeks of looking at cat back exhausts and ended up buying a blueflame TBE exhaust
