Coilover Advice

Hey everyone,

In need of some 'pointing in the correct direction'.

I own a 2007 UK Spec Honda Jazz, its a 1.4 iDSI.

I've been convinced to keep it for another year or perhaps longer, so if I'm gonna do that, I wanna do some things to it to make it really feel like my own.

I looked at getting some coilovers about 6 months ago, but found that in the UK a decent set will set you back around £1,000 - or you could go for the cheaper £700 option, but they have mixed reviews.

I know what you're thinking "Go for springs, Jack!". - I would, but I'd like the adjust-ability as I sometimes drive in places where the roads are bad beyond belief - but where I live the roads are mostly fine.

My main question is, does anyone know of a place I can get a set of coilovers of acceptable quality, for a lesser price? I see in the US they are around £400, but shipping to the UK is another £250-£350 on most. I'm happy to buy from abroad, just need somewhere that knows they'll fit a UK spec Jazz, rather than the USDM or JDM Fit.

Hugely appreciated!

Jack

Just for the use of any other UK Jazz owners here on FitFreak- The best bang for buck coilovers are the BC Racing V1's (Not BuddyClub). There are a few UK distributors, but they all have to get them imported from Malaysia mostly.

I have found that TuneFactory in the UK are really helpful and easy to contact about anything, and are really helpful with their information on stock.
