Thinking of buying sum hsd Coilovers from japspeed for my bugeye wagon, but not sure if any good,any one tried them

 

Not got those, but have tein super street on my wagon. Much better ride than the sti and spec c units I had on previously and no more saggy rear end! Matty b had some tein coilovers on a recent breaker iirc.

 

Ok thanks ,funny u should mention about saggy back end I had fitted a set of brand new pedders and I have a saggy back end

 

Whats a saggy back end? Ive got some teins for sale in the for sale section

 

I have BC's on my Bug wagon and cannot recommend them highly enough. I had pedders prior and they were just ****e

 

im going for pedders on Saturday fitted by scoobyclinic who highly recommend them and one guy has them on his 2.5 classic that works there

 

Hi there

We have run HSD coilovers and they're been firm/harder on the wagon,but this can be because we are run bucket seats too,but still you need to take to account,they're inverted coilovers and setting them can be pain for you,as adjusting is not on top of the shock,but on bottom of the coilovers

Hope this helps

Thanks,Jura

 

I had pedders on mine and they were bloody awful!! best thing i did was get rid of them. far too unforgiving on our crap roads

 

If i may interject at this point, i think we are talking about 2 different things here.

The kit that Scoobyclinic are doing is our Ezifit kit, which uses an OE size spring and shock with all the other necessary bits.

We also do coilovers. These are black. Some time ago, we also did a run out deal on our old stock Red coilovers. Like most coilovers these were fairly firm.

I believe (hope) that the kits being critisised for the ride are the older red coilovers, not our current Ezifit kit. Which certainly does not ride like most coilover set ups.

Hope this helps people decide what to choose.

 

the ezifit kit is what im having fitted on Saturday, I hope its a good choice

 

Thanks for everyone's advice still unsure now what make to go for ,I'll have a think over the weekend,I just wanted to the change the pedders on my wagon cos it didn't sit level,the rear sits lower than the front apart from that they looked good bit of kit,perhaps more suitable for saloon then wagon,as wagon heavier on the bak don't know.

 

HSD's for the win dude. Lots of people I know have them on their cars, good quality, good price, easy adjustment (the Dualtech kit is non-inverted so adjustment on the top of the dampers). Plenty of spares and advice available from HSD Europe (Driftworks). Highly recommend them.

 

Anybody else got comments about pedders ezifit ,being a more softer ride is perhaps why I has a problem with the rear sitting lower than the front,had a few messages about this but still un sure if correct any views on this ,and think this problem only applies to wagons not saloons

 

fine on my saloon blob sti

 

Yes it's a issue with wagons only cos of the extra body over the axle

 

Avoid japspeeds cheap tat

 

Hi there

On most coilovers if they're at least good or OK,then you should be able to adjust ride height,without this on wagon specifically you will need to fit spacer(aka Saggy butt spacer)

We are run HSD coilovers on which you can adjust ride height,on some shocks(mostly which has come from saloons or has been fitted on saloon) you will need to fit too those spacers without this you will have issues with ride height at back

Hope this helps

Thanks,Jura
