Coilovers

Looking to upgrade my standard suspension for some coilovers but not sure what ones to get. I have previously used Bilstein but ST suspension do a set for the same price. Although if anyone is running KW and highly rates them I could be convinced. :wink:

The ST kits are made by KW so basically the Variant range just with galvanised bodies instead of the stainless steel you get with the KW.

I have ST XTA coilovers on my Gti. Drives great even with them maxed out.

I'm currently getting a headache trying to make the right decision on which set up for me lol, currently it's out of

KW V3's (which most say to go for)

Bilstein B16's

Ohlins

NO DCC on my car, but just want nice comfortable ride but with fast road performance. Want it to absorb the bumps (Not crash/bang), but then it has to have the nice stance.

If you can afford them, Ohlins by a mile.

Everyone went mad for V3s on the Mk5 and had them set and then never adjusted them as you need to know what you are doing. V2s to me always made more sense but less bragging rights.

I have always been a fan of B16s as so easy to adjust given their construction.

Also these to consider.

AP coilovers made by KW
HR deep coilovers and BC racing are also good as well.
