mk2 Mondeo Coilovers.....do they exist?

rG-tom · 23 Oct 2007 at 23:22

Here's one for the detectives out there! I need to replace my shocks shortly, and after pricing up the koni adjustables at ~£500 im thinking that if I can find some coilovers it might be worth doing that as it'll be similar cash? Thing is.....I can't find any! Seems to be the only car in existance that i can't find them for.

But, OcUK detectives seem good enough to find anything for anything, so lets see guys!

Car spec: 2000 W reg Ford Mondeo 2.5l V6 Ghia X, ST24 or ST200 all have interfitting parts so any will do.

Thanks in advice

Tom.

Doh, a bit slow

Fairly sure they're for the mk3, they say 2000 onwards, where as the mk2 has used the same suspension since 96 iirc. Found them straight away! Cheers anyway though guys.

There you go, Weitec for the Mk2. Can get it in 40mm and 60mm by the looks of it.

oooh with the current exchange rate they look very tasty. Are KSport any good? Would KSport coilovers give better handling than Koni adjustable normal shocks with matched springs?

hm have you considered cheap KYB replacements, either standard (uprated) or the AGX adjustables?

buypartsby.com for good pricing..

if i'm going to change the shocks, i'm going to do it properly

KYB AGX would be doing it properly

and then maybe some eibach springs.

from my personal experience i wouldnt fit coilovers on a daily driver as they are too stiff and even if you get lower spring rates/damping they still make much more noise than normal setups.

can't see the AGX for my car

I've already got Koni springs in place, and they are only a few thousand miles old so i'd be keeping them if i went for conventional shocks, so they'd be best matched with koni shocks?

$850 is £412 at the current exchange rate.

I know, but plus shipping VAT and duty....how much would these things weight? I could use

But as the weight goes up, the price goes up massively!

All I can suggest is email them.

as said, that IS doing it properly... id give Byparts a call they might be able to get AGX's for it, IF KYB make them for the MondeoMK2...

otherwise coilovers at £500+VAT+shipping + fitting aint gonna be too cheap, its probably like half the value of the car itself (or near it)

therealnerd2 · 24 Oct 2007 at 12:52

Stupid question: but what's the best cheap sport shocks option for the mk2?

rG-tom · 24 Oct 2007 at 14:38

ok KYB dont make AGX for the mondeo, the Koni Yellow adjustables seem to be the best way forward atm, decided that coilovers would probably be too harsh as a daily driver + the hassle of trying to get them shipped!

Where's the best place to get all 4 koni adjustables WITHOUT springs? I already have the exact springs that come in the complete set, so no point in rebuying them when they are only about 5k miles old.
