08 liberty sedan GTB

Postby LBR37Y » Mon Jul 09, 2012 2:08 pm

I have been looking for coilys for a while now and I was going to go with Bilsteins but I found out that Bilstein dont make coilovers for the 08 liberty GTB model :evil:

Iv seen that a few other members have gone with Tein coilys but do they reduce ride quality??

What other brands out there that are fully adjustable and handle like a dream and dont reduce ride quality???

I won't want to go much more the 4000$

Surely that's a decent figure

For that coin, I've heard good things about Öhlins coilovers - I'm sure some guys who run them will add their 2c.

I have Racecomps. They're very good too.

For that money I'd suggest Ohlins, KW Variant 3 or DMS.

I've been I various cars with the above ... Ohlins prob harshest.

It's also worth noting that racecomp are modified/enhanced kw.

I believe it is racecomp tarmac 0, 1 & 2 are based on kw v1, v2, v3 respectively.

So what do you guys think of the Teins??

They still alright for ride quality and good handling??
