Coilovers - what's your recommendation.

My car is nothing exciting, latest pic http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...i-45547-4.html, I don't want super low therefore I wind the coil to the highest setup.

my sexy weitec is in page 2 of my thread

Wound up must be a good compromise in ride? They seem around same height as standard Factory struts.

Yep, I remember seeing your thread now!!
Your mk2 has changed its shoes more in one year than my missus does in one day. )

I'm still hunting the classifieds for some nice alloys (15 x 7 would be awesome) - something classic like BBS RA or RS ( if the price is right)

Anyone ever bought wheels through stanceworks forum? Or you guys just find them locally?

hahaha, ya I have had 5 wheels for her, although the Aluline has never used. It took a while to find a perfect wheel that I like. It's just the photo, it sit way lower than standard

The Weitecs right?
I'm struggling to find any locally.
Apparently the supplier has stopped bringing them to Aus?

Alternatively you can consider ST coilover, it is also a KW subsidiary brand. It has good reputation in US, I've never used them though

Cheers, I'll take a look at the ST's.

I had JOM coilovers in my Vento and they were shagged within a few months.

I've read on one of the UK forums that the FK AK street coilovers are good valid for money.

Venom Motorsport Performance Car Parts - EBC Brakes, Black Diamond Brakes, FK Suspension, Eibach Suspension, Weitec Suspension, Supersport Suspension

Anyone ever used them or any FK coilovers?

One of our sponsors - Slickonline - has these which are also adjustable for hardness - $1220.

Thanks for the link!
These guys have a tonne of stuff for the mk2 and prices not too different from online.
See how my budget goes, may include some coilovers.
The JOM Bluelines are more in my budget range at the moment at only $550 a set.

Just wish there was something in between, that didn't sacrifice the ride for a decent drop.

I am running on H&R coils, semi sports and they are fantastic. Set them up with H&R sway bars and Neuspeed upper and lower torsion bars at the front and its a great ride. Whole setup was a bit exy, but definately worth spending that bit extra.

Oh and running on borbet 15' - 195's. With setup had to wind back from 205-195.

I'd love the H&R's - I'm sure the price though is probably around the value of my car!!

How low is your car set up?

I'm running 195's on a 15 and grip is plenty, never had issues on the wet slippery roads around the Northern Rivers.

Thank you NeuSpeedGTI- I did some research on the H&R coilovers and chanced apon this!

http://http://www.eurosportacc.com/c...oducts/29865-1

Discounted H&R coilovers reduced to US$1,078 (plus $389 shipping)

If only I could come up with $1,700 or so!
