thats the thing mate. more reading less posting for a while perhaps?

as for coils. I've driven (or rode in} a few cars with hottunnings. I don't mind them.
as purely astetic mod (ie lowering] I think they fit the bill, and provide a decent, ride, although pretty rough over bumps at times.

Carl has DMS in his mk 2. that things low, stiff and still rides good.

But for the price difference I could live with the hottunnings, even though more uncomfortable. the price justfy's that, in respect to Andrews comments about old cars, & expensive suspension etc.

Poly bushes make a big difference to the ride aswell, I will change back to std bushes when I get the chance, better ride. Well worth the ride quality even if you have to change them more frequently.

Mine rides fairly well but would be better with the std bushes.

I have to say that Carl's Mk2 rode VERY good how low it is with those DMS'. I was very much impressed with them. It was also quite impressive with cornering characteristics, from the limited time i spent in it and unfortunately i was in the passenger seat too.

As far as my decisions go with what i buy, that's probably the last thing i will purchase for my car, so it is a long way off and i will make my decision then. It's basically a cost vs benefit thing. If the imported stuff is close to the same price as say DMS', then i'll go that way, because i will be getting (apparently) far better dampers for only slightly more money.

Because people here have always known everything and it makes them feel big to belittle young people trying to get into the scene.

This forum has gone to ****.

I don't think it's like this at all sorry.

I've been reading & following this thread for sometime now & thought I'd chime in.

It's more of the case of crap & misleading information that get's alot of people incl. myself wound up.

OT, but it's like me stating I know this person whom I'm good buddies with, but never met him though & I can get you a brand new mk5 GTI on the road delivered to your door for $25000!

How many people are going to hassle me about this & all I can give them is an email & then they find out I've been misleading everyone with lie's & to top it off my alleged "good buddy" doesn't even know who I am! Then what happen's?

I don't know how the kid got V3's for $2500 8 month's ago, when I know for a fact, cause I've dealt with them before (I'm not friend's with them either. I've just brought stuff off them), that the increased price has been like this for longer than 8 month!

Valver's on the money to with pricing. You can't even get V2's for less than $3200 retail!

I was also shocked by this!

The DMS are on another level, but I personally found on the street the KW's to have better ride quality's with both the DMS & KW's rebound & compression wound down, even with the V3's on lower profile tyres! They just seem to soak up the bump's alot better.

On the track, I can't elaborate, but I'm pretty confident the KW's wouldn't be too far behind the DMS' by the way the valving is. Spring rates are will make a huge difference too.

Just for interest sake, I paid $2653 just over a year ago delivered to my door when the OZ dollar was flying & KW's were on special too at trade price!

If someones quoting prices for something, then put your money where your mouth is!

He's stated he can get them for $2500 delivered from his mate, so people will want a set for $2500!



Sorry for highjacking your thread K Man.

By the way. I'm still happy with my V3's & the best thing I've done with suspension on a mk1. Worth every cent even on a daily driver!

Anyone that's been in it, have been amazed by it for how little the spring rates are & hasn't had anything bad to say about the ride. Except for the lack of power! haha

I'll still stand by my previous post, of if I were to do it again for a street, I'd go with the V2's cause I like to use my car's. Hard too!
