Price for High End Single Adjustable Coilovers?
Price for High End Single Adjustable Coilovers?
Many of us searching for high-end adjustable suspension are face with many choices.
As it will be a huge investments for most of us, we all want to make sure that we are making the right decision.
But ultimately, it comes down to prices and what we can afford.
We would all love to ride on a set of Ohlins DFV, but at £2500 a set it is just a bit outside of the budget for many of us.
So the questions here is what "High End" suspension do you think you can afford?
How much is it? And why would you choose that over anything else in the same price bracket?
As the keyword here is 'affordable', lets try to keep the RRP of the coilovers below £1500.
Just a general questions to the community.

Sparkystav How much! I though adjustable coil overs were high end!
lol... depends on what people are looking for.
Like I said, Ohlins is around £2500 a set and that is one of the very good "High End" suspension.
And it will go up to a set of Moton 4-Way Suspension around the £10,000 mark, and you have to provide your own springs (they don't come with it). :presents2:

That is slightly different than what I have in mind...
They are a very specialist company catering for a very limited range...
Granted I probably wouldn't class them as "High End", I don't think they have the technology to be rank up there with the suspension specialist.

I look for reliability, quality and then price. Most people look for these 3 things but in a different order.

I personally am not bothered about the adjustability and damping settings, as I never go near a track. I'd just like to be able to adjust the height of my car. I think 300-400quid would be easier for people to justify.
But like I said, not sure how much all the adjustable damping controls adds to the overall cost.
This might be a bit off topic, but I think there is market for a cheaper non-adjustable coilover, just so people can get their car lower on a budget. I don't know how much extra the valves and stuff cost, but I know myself and others on this forum are struggling to find 600+ to get coilovers.
