Yeah, I'd be keen to hear your thoughts on how the coil-overs feel compared to standard type suspension.

Yeah, I'd be keen to hear your thoughts on how the coil-overs feel compared to standard type suspension.

I've adjusted how hard it rides now, out of 30 settings, they are on number 12 (0 being softest and 30 being hardest), and out of all the cars I have owned and the different suspension setups I have used, this setup by far handles the best and most comfortable. Yes it does ride a bit harder from standard, but thats to be expected with the height O have it set at. Rides better than Pedders springs and shocks (comfort gas), lovells springs and monroe shocks. This kit uses king springs for the rear and I could drop the rear another 35-40mm if I want, but being my daily driver, I can't go too low. All in all, very happy and was well worth it. Especially considering Pedders quoted me $1500+ for springs and shockers all round nkt including labour, and I got this coilover kit for $1595.

Is that the same as the MACE XYZ kit?

It sounds like a good mod. I'm getting old and have a bad back so ride quality is becoming more important. Currently the Calais has Dobi low sport springs (about the same as FE2 height) and KYB shocks. It's not a bad ride but always looking to improve if possible. Good shocks definitely makes a difference.

any reason you went with the xyz coilovers ?

My Clubsport is the first vehicle I've ever driven with coilovers, and the best one yet. I have Pedders XAs fitted though. Going back to my SV6 for a day was a pain.

Coilovers are a must from now on.
