Ultimate Handling?

[jamier2007]

I know this seems like cheating, but i cant find the answer!
What is the ultimate handling for the K10 using off the shelf parts? I know people use corsa and polo coilovers but that seems to be for lowering rather than handling.
Any help would be appreciated

i can supply coilovers made for k10's developed for autograss and road use .fully adjustable platforms and rears have adjustable dampers .these are a direct fit with only slight enlarging of the top mount hole on the fronts .i have used Avo's and found these to be far better ,pics available if required

Il have some pics if you've got thm

Also, k11 anti roll bars will fit with some work, I've got front and rear bars along with the k11 hubs that will allow for better brakes waiting to be put on

 

[sn31]

How much of an improvement are the KYB gas shocks?

 

[sn31]

we get through 2-3 sets of kyb's a year in autograss which is about 15 meetings

 

[Arnold]

I had Boge shocks with Spax lowered springs, and additional bump stops fitted, along with Toyo proxies tyres and the handling was awesome

 

[jamier2007]

Did you not have any anti roll bar or anything on the front?

 

[Arnold]

Ah yes I forgot I had an adjustable front strut brace which helped. I'm selling it soon if anyone wants it

 

[RTLkyuubi]

SN31 can you email me some pictures of the coilovers to [email protected]

Cheers!

 

[bikepmist]

Sn31 are you still supplying coilovers for the k10?

 

[Dillo K11]

SN31 are you still doing the coilovers?

 

[sn31]

[Dillo K11]

How much?
New or secondhand mate.

Hey Arnold, the boge shocks where did you get them from please as i'm finding it hard to find any part from like one on ebay here and there, and they just standard to fit? cheers

A corsa b gaz coilover set fit well on K10s

Not much modding to make them fit? I was thinking of just getting new shocks and lowering springs instead of coilovers? Would it matter for handling purposes?

Iirc @mottymicra was using spax shocks and matt humphries 60mm lowering springs and rated it quite highly as a setup

No modding at all as far as I could see. Make sure its the proper rear coil over set. Not separate shock n spring.
New shocks and lowering springs would be just fine. Still be rolly and wallowy.
But coilovers also require setting up. Or at a minimum correct spring rates

There was various places selling them online about 7/8 years back, but I won't remember where they were. Springs were from Demon Tweeks. Bump stops from Halfords. Strut brace from Japan

Ah yes I forgot I had an adjustable front strut brace which helped. I'm selling it soon if anyone wants it

how much for the strut brace? i may have that off you

 

[mas12555]

May as well get coilovers from gaz about £500 for front/rear with correct spring rates, strut braces from dc perfomance, k11 front anti roll bar, doubled up rear anti roll bar.

 

[Enuo]

Arb's not neccesary, mine has way more grip without the front one...

 

[h701micra]

May as well get coilovers from gaz about £500 for front/rear with correct spring rates plus longer shaft, strut braces if you like bling, k11 front anti roll bar is pointless, rear anti roll bar.

Sorted

I was just going by what other k10 members used to do back in the day mate.

[mas12555]

Hi mate can you pm me some details, would be interested in getting some of these off you if thats still possible?

if you go straight to gaz mate they are cheaper

[mas12555]

"Corsa all models gha310" will go on fairly easy then yeh?

No mate I got corsa rears and they are way way way too low.

Just phone them up mate you can get front and rears for the same price as the corsa ones about £450-£500 area, spring rates will be correct too.
Know of two guys who have recently bought them.

Give protech in Bristol a ring. They make custom coilovers.

 

[h701micra]

So do I
But nobody wants to pay that much

 

[Enuo]

You in Bristol RTL or just near?

Hes up by me iirc as he had my panels off nissanubaru

 

[mas12555]

Still undecided wether to put any on there.. Don't want to get stress marks, ripples etc.

I thought that but I have not seen one k10 rep with ripples on the top of the front wings yet. It happens over time to most old cars if used and abused. Unlucky for us everyone abuses K10s.

I put Corsa front coil overs on my Daihatsu Mira - they fit pretty much anything with that two bolt fitment.
