Pff you need better girlfriends. Mine would like sit there and giggle while bouncing down the road with the hottunings wound down to the bottom of the thread (without helper springs or bump stops) and encourage me to lower it further. haha.
Wasn't particularly comfortable though. And handling takes a hit when you're that low too, considering the slightest bump makes you bounce and lose grip. I actually named a road near my house decpetively bumpy road... it was the smoothest looking road you'd ever see, but my car would disagree. haha. Oh and forget going anything over like 140 like that, it just gets pretty ****ing scary as you really have little control.
Also I haven't actually seen my wreck yet, but in the report it says the suspension is damaged, so its possible that maybe one of the coilovers blew out which is what caused the car to rip a tyre off and go flying off the road into a pole.
I shalln't be cheaping out next time thats for sure.sigpic

I have tried a couple of times to do a comparison day where owners of MK3's could get together and have a short spin in each others to rate the suspension setups. Personally I am running a set of coils from Germany from one of our old site sponsors German Car Performance (who I don't think exist anymore). There is a thead back here if you are interetsed.
I'd love to go for a fang with some KW V2's to see the difference to mine, but almost four years on and I'm still happy with my ones

I've ridden in various cars with various brands of coilover (Bilstein, HR, KW, FK) and I'd say any of those brands ride quite well. FK's are just the best value in that group!VW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it
