need a little advice here
I have a mk2 vr i am currently building up with the smooth engine bay hidden wires etc
i fitted brand new coilovers to the car a while back but i think they are going to be to harsh
and smash my engine bay to bits as it is rock hard
they is already 2 small cracks and it aint been on the road yet just caused from towing it about everywhere
i think i will go back to shocks but whats the best for the mk2vr koni/eibach springs
thoughts please

im guessing you have a tidy budget based on your build thread. my mate has koni fully adjustables and they are very nice, set it back about 700 sheets i think, otherwise there are KW's of course. yours isnt widetracked is it?
-
Koni shocks with eibach springs is a good choice.

i dont have money like i had when i started the build since having a addition to the family
could not part with 700
no mine aint widetracked is it possible to get different coilover springs to stop them being so harsh
I used to have koni/eibach second hand but the rears seized up proberly worked well but they were only
on a few month
-
budget coils would be AP's for me i am biased on this one as i have a set but i dont think they are too harsh, alot of people like the weitecs too. new springs wise not sure, what make have you got?
-
i have hottuning coilovers they were cheap when i bought them not sure what to expect with them really
never really heard of people running them but i just think they are to hard
i was looking on rally design at different springs cheap to replace
-
I find hottunning coillies softer than mine. Maybe if you got mk3 vr suspension or is it lowered you want?
-
:sick: replace the whole lot Rob, ive heard nothing but bad things about the hottuning coilovers. that is your problem right there, cheap coilies = false economy. if its low you want to go, go for weitec or AP's under 450 or go for a decent spring shock setup again weitec, or as wayne suggests if you have a little more of a budget.
-
i want it pretty low yeah but also wanting the handling good might hit a few trackdays later this year all been well
i think i will sell them on when i find a replacment should'nt be hard to sell on
i will need to save up for something more decent i will look into weitec see what i can find
