Aveo Coil-overs with pictures

I though its good to create a topic for Aveo coil-overs.

I installed a set of coilovers into my ride. Its 32 steps adjustable for shock hardness or softness. Its ride height adjustable and spring preload adjustable. Both front and back can be adjusted. Comes with anti roll bar linkage for the front as well.

All you need to do is to skim the front lower arm by abt 1mm to fit in the coilover. I would say they are the best suspension setup ever for aveo. If you only install those lowering spring from Apex, H&R, Vogland,the original shock is too soft. If you installed koni shocks, they are hardness adjustable but not height and preload adjustable.

Each set should cost abt $1.4k US.

i would love coilovers, but $1400 for what looks like B&G coilovers is a bit steep.

i think i would go with Vmaxx off and astra for closer to $600.

Re: Aveo Coil-overs with pictures

The price have gone down now, since Singapore press down on currency to boost US business running in singapore. And plus there are many chevys here running on BC Coilover now, so a set is abt $1200US now.

Re: Aveo Coil-overs with pictures

US to SIng is abt 1.4+ now. Quite low exchange rate. I think I can only afford to have it shipped at $1.3kUS. Including the free adjustable linkages and shipping free.

Re: Aveo Coil-overs with pictures

Ya. A shorter 4-1 header. Which replaces only the stock exhaust manifold. The cat will still stay. This is for those who wish to maintain the cat there. Its exactly the same as the one you bought previously except it merged earlier and the flange matches the cat. Its bolt on also. No modification needed to make it work. If you cut off the flange, and install a T3/T4 flange, its a turbo manifold.

Re: Aveo Coil-overs with pictures

Never heard of that brand before, but I can only guess why type of system you would receive for ~300...which is basically the cost for a set of springs. We sell coilover set-ups that cost more than that for a single corner.

At least with the BC's, you know you are getting a top quality coil. I'm personally running their BR's right now on my own car.

this conversation is going 3 ways, yes those are the coil overs i have on my car, for $300 they are as good or better than some sets that are closer to $1000.. and ive run coil overs on other cars that were $500 a corner, but the rokkors have a very acceptable right for the price.

who can really spend (or wants to) $1000 or more for coil overs for an aveo? its a aveo.. And if you dont want rokkors but want to spend a grand, go with h&r, kw, or b&g.

Would this be what I would need to fit an O7 Sedan? I'm alittle confused, Rokkor came out of no where in this thread.

Rabbit how do we order mk1 under what model or year?
04-20-2011, 12:44 PM
petrified.rabbit

mk1 would be rabbit, like 75-84 vw rabbit, gti or jetta. mk1 is usually listed in the description or title.

but you only need those in the rear for LOW... like those adjusted all the way up are the mk2 adjusted all the way down..

you still need mk2 in the front, which does pose a buying issue.

i am doing a new audio build and im already bottoming out on any decent bump.. and this new one will be a lot heavier..

I read on Vortex that some of the Passat guys were able to special order kits at one point. They were mixing and matching because their car wasn't listed, but parts from other models could be used, kind of like what we are doing.

just adding the rear coilovers as a helper will add weight capacity. (i mentioned this to another ember who wanted to install f150 springs). but it would stiffen the suspension not raise it up (more spring would set you back to original ride height)

i discussed that with them. they said you could order them as replacement parts. but didn't give me "specific" numbers.. but thought it would be like $150 a corner. which i thought was outrageous. (cheaper to buy the two sets and have "extras" at the time) but i could approach them again.. and see. I wonder what the passat guys were doing, unless it was the b5, they pretty much use the mk3 suspension..

i will look into when i get a chance, but i wouldnt wait for me.. :P

I can't remember but I think it was the b5 guys, there is a kit for them now.

my coil overs have a 300# spring, add that as a helper.. position to ride with the stock spring in place i think you'll be ok.

Tidus do you do sound competitions? I was the one who tried to get the F150s to work.... and its not happening lol. But I had about 158 lbs in a single locomotive battery and have around 400 or so bounds with my box, sub, amps, blocks..etc

Just curious.
