quick question, can you use an amplifier with a crossover to power Comps?

A harsh reminder of the risks they take. They havnt got a protective bubble like F1 drivers. sad to see a rider to lose his life at 24

Overall yes, theres still very slight bounce on some dips but nothing compared to what it was first like, Its easily driveable now. As for comfort, they feel firm but forgiving. Driving over speed bumps is like having standard suspension, if driving sensibly

no worries for me and my 17 year old little basic corsa, my only battle is against rot. Even if i have to take it off the road for a while i can use the works van/cars :toung:

A quick update... I stiffened all the shocks completely and drove around for a few days then softened them them 1 click (from completely soft/0) on the front and 12 clicks on the rear. The car is a lot less bouncy. Paired with the Proxes it handles a lot better with much more confidence...

I know they are not the best money can buy but I dont consider £500 to be very cheap, especially given the fact I drive a car which I paid the same amount for :amazed: Im used to a back breaking ride from my konis when they gaveup so the stiff ride shouldnt be too much trouble for me. I just...

I took it for a drive last night and it was very bouncy, it feels like a bouncy castle going over small dips and the yellow lines that help you slow down before roundabouts. Do I need to go stiffer? I had to try and adjust the fronts while i was out because it was barely driveable. I noticed...

Ive only driven it to and from work but it currently feels a bit bouncy...I havnt played with the dampening/rebound adjusters yet. I think they may need to be adjusted so they are a bit firmer, I could be wrong. Its so different to the lowering kit. It felt tighter on the roundabouts with less...

last pictures...

some more pics of the front with the Coils going on and setting my first height to get an idea of the drop. i think i guessed quite well for a quick setup

more pics, my strut brace and the front shocks before fitting Coils...

thats true MA. I couldnt wait until Saturday to fit my coilovers so I decided to have a late one at work tonight to do it :bigsmile: Due to some slight chasis petrusion at the rear, I had to 'modify' / beat some of it back to allow the coil spring to line up with the strut top. Not...

Hmm thanks for the advice all, I've had to set a low budget due to my insurance renewal and Xmas approaching. My boss has kindly let me drive on the garage insurance so I should be able to invest ao bit more. I've decided to go step by step, I've already got a half decent alpine headunit so...

Another question, Ive noticed some real expensive kits with lower RMS and MAX power outputs than other kits that are half the price, what should I look for besides RMS power and the HZ frequency?

ok will do, thanks
