Title: 8v coilovers
Post by: FOREST GREEN on 12 August 2010, 21:20

Anyone know where I can get a set 'cheap' from at the moment? Is anyone doing any deals at all? The cheapest I have found is £165.00 inc delivery on Ebay

Cheers for your help guys

im sure people will say you get what you pay for and they are prob right, but all i wanted was a slammed mk3 so i snapped up some hottuning coilovers for £150 2 years ago and they are still going strong. People with more knowledge will prob give you some different advice.

This old debate again  :rolleyes:

My hotuning ones have been on for about a month now and are fine for me. The ride is firm but not too harsh and the handling is greatly improved. They creaked a bit when first fitted but a shed load of grease all over them solved that!

Yeah, classic thread.

I've got Jamex and I'm happy.

Don't go for the cheapest sh!t you can find...

I had hotuning fitted for well over a year with no issues. I did adjust them a good few times and had no seizure issues as they were well greased when fitted
