OEM coilovers 85k miles in great condition, no leaks etc.

Looking for £150 plus delivery (probably about £15 for a courier)

 

OEM coilover


Not OEM coilover

 

Think he means OEM Shocks and Springs.

 

Which is the same as OEM Coilovers

 

BUMP

 

another bump

 

OEM macpherson strut actually!!

 

A Macpherson Strut is virtually a double wishbone suspension where the length of the upper wishbone has been reduced to zero. This means that the camber curve of a Mac Strut tends to be inferior to that of a decent double wishbone design, and for racing and performance applicationss a Mac Strut tends to require more static negative camber.

A Mac Strut is an inferior suspension design to a double wishbone suspension system, but is normally used in preference due to it's simplicity, cost and ease of packaging into the chassis, no requirement to allow room for the upper wishbone...therefore good for FWD.

Any shock/spring where the shock and spring can be removed from the car as an assembled unit and where the spring fits outside the damper is a coilover, with the exception of the spring / damper incorporated into a MacPherson Strut.

The aftermarket manufacturers seem to have successfully managed to hijack the term coilover to mean their products in particular. In principle there is no difference between aftermarket coilovers and OEM ones.

 

I've missed you Loftust

 

wow if these fetch £150 I'll sell my standard ones... they've been in a box gathering dust for years.
