Re: Build Time (Doey20v)

let me ask you, did you have any problems with your old valves?
i see they look like from airbait.com , just want to see you opinion.

Re: Build Time (Rat4Life)

Yep had quite i few problems with them sticking and leaking im from the uk and last winter the vavles were sticking all the time and it wasnt really that cold compared to the winter weather you guys get. I thought id go for manual valves this time so if 1 fails(which ive yet to hear) its just a case replacing it

Re: Build Time (Doey20v)

i guess after buying new coilovers it makes sense to go with aerosports, otherwise if you didn't buy new coils bagyards would be the the right solution.

Re: Build Time (Doey20v)

what coils are you gonna put the uvair over?

 

[Doey20v]

Re: (Rat4Life)

Kinda wish i went with bagyards

but u live and u learn, also needed new rear struts and something 2 roll around on while i waited 4 the new kit so made sense in some ways. The coils im running r called AP there a new line of coils just out made in the same factory as kw http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Also picked up my new cage the other day gunna b gettin rid of the back seats so hopefully should look good with the air setup n cage

Re: (Doey20v)

[Doey20v]

I got it 2nd hand from a guy on e38 forum in the uk, but u can get them off ebay there only for show and u will have 2 trim the bottom of them if u have got a sunroof but apart from that they bolt striaght in here's a link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-ROLL...A1318
