Coilovers

[symon]

Does anyone know of coilovers that leave the car even quietly? (Twingo mk2 fase 2)

 

[maggi200]

Do you mean road noise?

You'll have more success with a change in tyres and adding sound deadening (dynamat and the like) especially in the rear

 

[symon]

no, I have the car to skim the ground

 

[maggi200]

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean, and for that reason I'm out

I'm sure someon else might be able to help though

This makes less sense a a nun in a brothel

 

[maggi200]

Unless you mean you want a slammed Twingo, in which case you'll want BC Racing Coilovers, as far as I know they're the lowest you'll get on coilovers. Otherwise look at bags.

These threads include cars with BC Racing Coilovers:
Oillie's Cup
My Cup
Neil's Gordini

Or you could try AST (but Anthony has had issues with them as far as I know):
Yotah's Car

maggi, is your middle name duncan bannatyne? just because you're out and all

 

[maggi200]

I realise the reference would be lost on the OP but went with it anyway

I've just raised the front end, to get it back to the factory rake angle, as I had more drop on the front. So, on Sunday, fearing it would get stuck in the snow and, also be too low to get onto the rollers for mapping, the front came up 12mm.

I also span the top mounts round to give maximum caster adjustment as lots of camber isn't needed for winter

 

[maggi200]

Did you do that yourself, or have you had the geometry checked? Or did you mark it up last time?

 

[singlespeed]

I found the standard heights on the Infotech website and worked out that the rear was 43mm lower than standard. The front was 55mm lower, so I raised it up to equal the rear drop.

Then used a couple of spirit levels to get the camber equal side to side and then set the toe to around 10' using the spirit levels as straight edges and a tape measure to check the amount of toe. Cocked it up the first time as the wind was blowing enough to have the levels bouncing about so measurements were a bit pointless

The Bc has now also inverted coilovers
