what was the cost of these kits again ? if there was one i cant remember

£699

Thanks

Remember the best person to speak to about how the kit rides is Martin at Delta Parts

www.deltaparts.co.uk

Also you can order your kit through him too, just give him a shout.

hi there
these look pretty good
has anyone got and feed back from them
and are they a direct replacement for the standard suspension
or is there a little bit of work involved in fitting then
i am asking because i am looking at a set of these
or to get a set of d2 as shown in the link d2 coilovers
that i no a few have tried and tested
thanks very much noddy

What's included for 699, adjustable shocks all round?

what i want to know is what the ride is like compared to the bilstein shocks and a decent set of springs ..

The kit will be a full kit, with front camber topmount, for all 4 corners of the car.
30 point damping adjustment
Adjustable ride-hight (independent of ride-height settings)
Adjustable ride-height.

I have no experience of the D2 kit for the Coupe, but the D2 coilovers tend to be over-sprung and under-damped for UK roads so I would imagine a much better quality of ride from the BC kit.

Compared to Bilstein I have no idea, sorry, hopefully once more people on here get the kit you can get some independent feedback. Generally we receive very good feedback from customers who have used other brands of coilovers (KW, AST, Gaz, D2, Tein etc) and then ours. We also get good feed back from people who have avoided coilovers before as being "too harsh" and have stuck to shocks/springs thinking all coilovers are designed for the track, not for the road.

Delta Parts, as mentioned previously have the most experience of this kit (although I have driven the car) as they helped with the development and did all the testing. This is the first kit they have helped us with, we have also worked with Delta parts on 2 previous kits for the Lancia's both of which have gone down a storm with customers and I expect the same sort of feedback from Fiat customers.

Thanks

There's nothing on the Delta Parts website about fiat coupe dampers from what I can see, just a glass fibre bonnet?

You would need to give them a call

Still on for December release date??

Yup

Delta Parts and ourselves are now taking Pre-orders for these, thanks.

Now on the website, I believe some of you guys looked at the kit at the recent trackday.

http://www.bc-racing.co.uk/c-bczo01/fiat-coupe-coilovers-93-00-fa175/

Any order placed before 29th November will be delivered, most likely on 6th December.

I can also mention that all BC prices will go up in 2012 so well worth buying them this year

Well, I've ordered so am looking forward to getting this

Also, if you use the code FREE at the checkout you will get free delivery.

These do look interesting Alexis, can I ask what the reasoning was to make you splash the cash?

Do you think these are really suited to mostly ALL road use? (For me anyway)

Because I don't like my FK coilovers and I need new top mounts, so best of both worlds here, but it's been setup for a coupe, rather than being a generic based kit

Look forward to read feedback on this!

Me too, I expect it to be very good but I'm Glad somebody like Begbie is getting a set and can give you all independent feedback

I believe both track and road use will be reviewed soon

What about springs, or is this the whole thing.

Have you actually looked at the link above? It's the whole lot

Its a full kit, with front camber topmounts, height adjustable front/rear, damping adjustable front/rear.

Thanks

For any of the specialists watching this thread - what would be an approx. cost for fitting and set up on-top of the purchase price?

Very good question Patch. Interested to know the answer to that.

If the feedback is good I would be tempted to go for this, but by the time we get any feedback the price will probably have gone up.

I would be ready to buy in Jan, any idea how much it will go up by?

Bit early to put it up in my opinion when they have only just been released and nobody has a comparison with them yet either.

Would depend on your garage.
About 1-2 hours to fit by a professional, with rideheight setup.
Alignment £50-£500, usually around £130 with 4-wheel alignment, camber, toe & thrust angle setup but no corner weighting or rideheight setup.




Begbie should have feedback before Xmas

Thanks for that SM. That's all I needed to know.

How about enough interest for a Group buy?
Prices?

Thanks.

I'm very interested in this kit, my only concern is the pillow ball top mount and how long it will last before it starts knocking.
I think the use of the word "Pillow" is a bit misleading, a pillow you usually associate with softness, not a solid block of metal with no give at all!

I'm just concerned it may be too harsh for a road car, especially for guys running 18" wheels with low profile tyres.
I'm also waiting for Begbies feedback

One more question; rear height adjustment- is it done through the lower spring platform similar to the FK setup?

Jimbo, rear height adjustment piccy

Why thankyou Similar to the FK then.

I notice there's a threaded section to the rear damper, I guess it shares the damper body from a kit which uses a coil over the damper on the rear.
