eibach sportlines or k-tec coilovers for 182?

[RSprojects]

i dont post much on here but read on here quite alot! i need to put some pics up for my car soon too anyways...
I own a 182 ff and was wondering is its worth paying the extra 150 quid +£60 fitting (camber setup) to have k-tec coilovers rather then sportlines? my eyes have been on the sportlines as i ran pro-kit on my old dci 100 and it was great!

I do alot of street driving and am a very aggressive driver when it comes to cornering where and when its safe i love the grip my pilot exaltos give and just want more . i also do alot of crusing about with the gf and occasionally have a full car when me and the lads go for a day out or whatever...

is it worth the price tag for the bigger drop and will it affect handling much for compromise on ride quality

KIND REGARDS Rob

From personal experience any coilovers sub £600 won't get you a setup better then sportlines and standard/cup dampers..

The entry level coilovers are probably not going to make it handle any better, if not worse..

I would say its not worth the extra..

It depends on how low you want it to go also. Sportlines give a minimal drop.

I'd go for sportlines with solid top mounts and fully polybush her with an ARB ull be sorted...Ive got sportline pros there fantastic but drop is very minimal but the cooksports have a very good rating and a good drop aswell

The sportline non pros give a better drop

i was just about to ask this very question....been looking at both sets...what springs should i go for? im looking for overall handling for road/fast road and the odd track day etc plus i would like a descent drop for looks....and a Rear Arb kit worth adding to the package??

Go for the sportlines dude i only went for the pros cos i wernt to fussed about the drop i looked hard into coilovers and there a lot off agg and money most of em start to bang after 6 months and need a refirb after a year.....f**k that its aggro

 

[Kibble_182]

would you use a solid top mount? or just standard?

 

[Kyle 86]

Solid one for sure the OEM ones are shocking

Complete waste of time putting solid mounts on a road car imo let alone on standard shocks.

oem top mounts are very good tbh apart from the odd creak.

Im with martin on here ran sportlines and AST top mounts on my cup for two years and have just gone back to standard. Dont get me wrong solids give awesome feel esp on a lovely sweeping fast road or on track but for me on everyday use they started to do my head in.
I was shocked when transferring back to new standards i was expecting it to feel rather s**t but it feels ok!!!
