Ebay Springs For Mk3 Golf.

[Pmk]

So guys i've been thinking about it.. for my suspension.. I've been contemplating about coilovers for a long time and seeing im on a real budget now.. I'm thinking of purchasing springs.

Any recommendations or experiences with ebay lowering springs with stock shocks/suspension ?

Cheaper alternative and i just want a drop. Im sure these wont have the same ride comfort as the coilovers but it'll give it a good drop.

Just wondering if anyone has recent experiences with these. If not i'll be the first to try them out

Ebay Springs. Few more online.

Previous owner of my car had them in and they killed the stock shocks, we're weeping and completely ruined when I got it. It did give it a pretty good drop though but yeah not a long term solution. If it was me I'd save for the coils.

You can get brand new coilovers off ebay for like under $400 shipped here. I'd just save for those Stock shocks are made for stock springs, so if you go putting those things on them it will ride like ass and as dark said kill them pretty quickly.

I have lowered springs in my VR6, but they are only approx 1 1/2" drop, so feel good, handles well and no effect on my shocks as yet...

This suits me as it gives it a little bit of drop and still very drivable.

my coilovers off ebay are treating me well! roughly $800 i think including postage for tuningart coilovers.. i dont have anything to compare these coilovers to in regards to ride comfort but im happy with how they ride

I had hottuning coilovers in my old car (the same ones the guys on here sell) from ebay and I think they were under 400 shipped. They weren't bad for what they were

+1. Have a look on ebay.de and ebay.co.uk for set of coilovers or even used ones if you are on a real budget. I would never trust some random ebay springs....

Hottuning / Tuningart and all that cheap rebadged shiz suck ass

when i finally get around to pulling them out i swear im gonna pay for someone to take em

They do what theyre meant to though, get you low on the cheap, and help handling a fair bit too. They dont ride all that great though

Should feel bags, I actually can honestly say I think they are even more comforatable then the oem suspension when you're cruising around literally an inch off the ground. Then when you want to play in the mountains they become very firm and sporty when you air them up a bit Considering the OP is considering ebay springs though I think they may be a bit of the price range

yep you are right, they get you low on the cheap ( so does getting out the grinder ) regarding handling i beg to differ, just because you are low and it feels firmer does not actually mean the car handles better...... yeah at a nice pace it does feel more planted, but when you start to push on abit things can get a bit hairy whilst your shiz is bouncin' up and down like a pogo stick.

never been in a car with bags yet ( c'mon Ray hurry up already ! ) but from what i hear its a plush ride.

OP if your still in need of some lowz when i upgrade mine you are more then welcome to have em, don't hold your breath though, cause the way things are going raising a young family and all it may be a while before i have a couple of spare gorilla's to splash out on some decent coils

I have fk streetlines in my car and I dont get any bounce and the ride whilst firm compared to stock springs is a long way from harsh. Car handles like its on rails in windy roads too. If these are crap I'd love to try some high end ones! (although I plan on getting bags next I think!) my fk's were 500 bucks from ecs

Also, did you guys with coilovers have to get a mod plate or some form of certificate from a mechanic that says they're safe to use on the road ? When i first put the coils in, i was under the impression that they were legal, probably just because im naive like that.. so thats what i told the cop when he pulled me over. I told him that i had coilovers not knowing that they were supposedly illegal.. but he had no idea what coilovers were (highway patrol as well) and every other time ive been pulled over, they've checked my ride height and all that jazz but never queried what suspension i've got.. have i just been lucky? or are coilovers legal? a lot of people have told me otherwise. and im a p plater as well so its not like they're gonna let me get away with anything

Yeah bags are a little out of my price range atm so yeah..

Plus im not going to complain with the coils. I get what i pay for. easy.

Coils are illegal in Vic, not sure about qld? Any adjustable suspension is illegal supposedly but most cops don't know what coils are. If you run at legal height they will prob never know as they rarely look at shocks, just ride height. Problem is most of us want to ride slammed which is where we run into problems!!
