Coilovers

Hi again everyone,

After much thought im looking at getting my golf lowered, and from advice coilovers are the best...

Anyone recomend any good kits? apparently H&R are pretty good

[adamss24]

Get the most expensive ones you can afford...H&R, Eibach, Bilstein are top notch, FK, Weitec are also good as well but a little cheaper.

well i always go on the old saying, you get what you pay for.....


But i have found a set of jan speed coilovers for 220 quid, and ive herd nothing but good things about them, anyone got these?

HOTTUNING make the coilovers, for companys like Bilstein, eibach and co to stick their logo all over them, can get a set of brand new, 2 yr warranty coiovers for around £170, they may have a swish eibach or Bilstein logo u cant see on the outside, but they are all HOTTUNING sets inside :)

If you fancy one of the cheaper sets off ebay I would recommend buying a set which has a best offer options as a lot of the sellers will go as low as £125-130 it's just a case of finding the right seller...

As for the quality of them... they are pretty good not quite your £1000 coilovers as the ride is harsh depending on the height you set them at but most come with a 2year warrenty and a lot of people swear by them and would buy again...

Dude just ask Adam, Keith or Penny they all run on a cheap set of V-Maxx's ;)

hot tuning ones are apparently the same as more expensive coilover sets, but without the brand name sticker.... and thats according to GOLF+ magazine.

So i cant be bad
