  • Coilovers anyone recommend

    Hey, i currently have spax adjustable shox and koni 30mm lowering springs but want to drop her down even more as not happy with how she sits. I like the look of the yellow mk1 3 door that comes up on the picture bar when you change pages. I have the same alloys but want her to sit low. ps anyone got window chrome surround for a 4 door gls mine is crispy and falling off. Not sure what to do with it??

    Hey mate I have JOM coilovers which I like A lot. Nice and stiff but makes the handling 100 times better. The yellow one I think has removed helper springs but if you want to know his set up read his build thread - mk1 gls cont. Should be on page 2 by now. Hope this helps!

          JOM are real popular on eBay so you can pick up a full set usually for around $900. But if you keep and eye on the classifieds around forums like this, often they can pop up for 600-700. I got mine through a forum for just 500 brand new!! Also maybe check out hottuning as they are a similar product but may have a more competitive price. Also a friend contacted spax international and had a full set shipped to his door for just under 1200 so yeah few options

                  Gotta have a good condition back to get away with these piece of **** cheapo coilovers.

                  Spend more, get some quality ones (and no, that doesn't mean hottuning). My 2¢.

                      hey, for your windows, there's some stuff called mylar but i think that would just be for your front and rear windows (as in boot and windscreen) on a 4 door, not sure. rarespares sell it.

                        There are cheap coilover out there, but you need to know the 'you get what you paid for' rule. IMO best value for money and yet good quality coilover is Weitec Hicon, I just ordered a set of Hicon GT from Awesome GTI, it only cost about $850 landed to my home.

                              Got a set of Racelands in mine. Similar design to hottuning and JOM. Ride ok, the lower you go..the stiffer they get.

                              Sent you a PM too.
