Post by: tweed on 17 June 2009, 22:35

mine is all standard at the mo. after reading the hottuning coilovers thread, I thought I would make a thread to see what people have got and what you think of them. hopefuly you can help me make my mind up. I aint wanting track sl*t coilovers, just want to be able to adjust the hight.
  Post your thoughts people.

I had Hottuning, good value for money and a lot of people are running them.

Are they stiff that is the question? I need firm, stiff suspension to suit my driving style.


do the coilovers fit all models of mk3? including the vr6?

i strongly recommend hottuning coilovers. they are pretty much faultless for the price. for a golf, they are more than enough. plus the warrenty they give is 2 years i think, so you got piece of mind. i used to throw my mk3 around and it would stay flat round corners, good stuff!

I have H&R fronts and SPAX Height & Damping Rears and the ride is spot on

I highly reccomend hottuning , had them on my mk2 lowered 120mm and the ride was stiff yet comfy , well worth the money !
