So far they seem really good for the money, a little bouncy over very rough road but for sub $400 coil overs i can't complain.
More updates tomorrow.

Loving the build man, someone young with the same ideas of a nice car as me! Very envious of the Aristo's!

Now, about the coils.. Where did you pick them up from/what brand? In the market for some to kick off my own build!

Were they from Australia? I've found a brand called JOM from Germany, and seem to be around a similar quality by review.. Only a little bit more expensive after shipping from the UK. Thank heaps

From Germany itself. All up landed to my door was around $380 which was alot cheaper then around $230 just for shipping from UK. I can't compare to joms as I have never used them. But i have heard that fks are a little bit better build. I was going jom but changed my mind. There's a couple of other members here running fks and are super happy with them.

Have just found some on eBay now actually.. Bit more than what you paid but if its similar to JOM's and a better ride I'm all for it! good to know there's some cost effective coils out there

Here's some more food for thought. My golf is all the way down, and my mother still thinks it drives nice. Only thing that ruins it is it rubs on the guard liner if I'm going around corners a little fast. Which is easily fixed but I'm a little lazy lately with this heat :@

That's real good to know actually, I was looking at going for a similar fitment to what you have now. Can't go wrong with a bit of tuck!

JOMs you can get from v-tech australia
FK's you can get from ECS tuning or what ever other parts retailer overseas. but I do not believe there is an australian retailer.

Nice build mate, looks like you and I have the same taste in cars. I also had a 318is, and now drive a Mk4.

Might see ya 'round at the next Harry's meet.

Thanks mate, You need to come to a harry's meet! to many mk5's

Also some little changes happened. bought a 3 spoke gti steering wheel off "SLAJ" Blokes awesome. cheapest wheel i could find anywhere. so he deserves a shoutout haha.


Also plasti dipped my wheels. which have already come off. plasti dip is a prick to clean without making it peel. so im going to actually paint them or maybe even powder coat.





Also some exciting news. Secured myself a mechanic apprenticeship for subaru which i start in the new year. so plenty of new mods will be happening next year. Also a nice photo taken by a random stranger on mount panorama last weekend. somehow he found me and inboxed me via facebook.

Thanks guys :p will have some more nice photos. Met a guy from vww at a meet the other day and he took a bunch of photos. But unfortunately. I got into a little trouble coming home. luckily the officer was nice enough enough to not yellow sticker it or fine me for no back p plate.

little sneak peak of what I'm going to be doing next year volk Grc 17x9 +33. Thinking gloss black center and polished lips. Just need to find another pair for the front.

Are you implying there's going to be a set of mint aristo's for sale? I think I just drooled at the thought
