MX3 cheap handling upgrades???

@ae8df4bd5d=jamesmx3:
You mean the silver and blue ones? Don't get em, go for ground control ones, look on mx-3.com for reviews of the eBay ones.
yup those are the ones! take it thats why the ground control springs are more expensive than those blue ones. am considering getting some of them with some upgraded shocks to make my own cheap coilovers

A really good set of tyres will make a huge difference to your braking, and a set of fast road pads like greenstuff.
You can also go down the Willwood route, I think Garfy's setup cost him under £1000.
I've heard good things about the Koni Red Inserts from the USA lot.
And good things about the KSPORT coilovers aswell.

Yea people seem to like the d2/ksports. THere's also now XYZ coilovers for the MX-3. Cost £550 all in, pillowball mounts drop from stock to 120mm approx. I'm tempted…

Got a link to the XYZ coilovers?

for £200 I'd seriously be questioning the quality!

Just had a look and it seems like a good kit.
Good find.
-
If coilovers cosr less than £500 the general rule is they will be crap.
Seen it many times on Probe, MX6, 323F etc, cheap ones have pretty much without exception, been poor at best.
-
Yeah at least you know the Ksport are up to the job.

I've just looked at the link & the post below from AI said they are £550 all in.
Did he change the price?

That was regarding the hypermaxx coilovers for a golf. Sorry the way I posted was ambiguous, I've edited my original post to make better sense!
XYZ coilovers appear to be similar quality to ksport/d2:
-£550
-inverted monotube
-pillowball mounts
-drop stock to -120mm

Thanks, I may be intersting for the XYZ.
I have sent an enquire to XYZ directly for pricing.

well my mates golf is running a 2.8 VR6, its decked on these without strutbraces & it handles like a gokart, think the only downside i've seen is used ones seem to go a bit crispy but that will happen with most coilovers

XYZ just quoted $660 USD inc delivery, thats cheap.
-
Got qouted for 610USD + 162USD for Racing Spec (RS) Coilover. Any body else may be intersting?
