MX3 cheap handling upgrades???
-
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?
