Haha, oh totally. Complete overkill for a strictly street car. I have heard of hottuning coilovers leaking though. The old man had a car in at the workshop a few weeks ago with new coilovers which were the same colour and style as hottuning ones (don't know what brand) and they were leaking.

Having said that, if everyone says they're good, go for it. Too cheap to knock back. Cheaper than a set of lowering springs and some new struts/inserts!

got a price of 190 pound off the ebay store and 210 pound shiped :S

thats about 850au right, still seams ok considering a full set of shock's would be 500 along in Oz.

does evorobin do MK1 coilovers? or does the MK1 share part compatibility with the MK2

robin does mk1 as well. he sells them for 700 to your door. mk2 is the same as mk3 with the hottunings but mk1 is different.

So you went for the Mk1 spec coilovers for your cab? How much did that set you back?

Apart from the mkV golf and the awd stuff like R32/S3 there isn't many vag cars hottuning don't cover. Price for mk1/2/3 is $700 + postage for reference. I can also organise someone to fit them for you too.

with the hot tunning ones, does that include the metal strut tops or is that extra?

I notice Hottuning in Belgium does stainless extractors and exhaust systems.

When you gonna get us some of them Robin ?

[evorobin]

I'm waiting on prices as I've got a few bmw people after those. Strut top mounts are an oem part.

for everyone who has hot tuning, how do you find this suspension for road use only? too stiff?

looking to get a set on my mk1 golf...

thanks in advance!

Depends mate, I love them but am running stock 60 profile tyres which reduces the stiffness, but does also reduce the handling due to tyreflex on such a large sidewall. I find it is a good compromise though.

I would prefer 55's maybe as this would give better handling around corners but would also make the ride firmer.

for an everyday driver and to allow a lot of fun I use 60 profiles. It beats most things round corners due to weight etc and is much more fun than a standard suspension set up.
