Title: best suspension for £350.00 ish
Post by: davemk4 on 18 December 2012, 21:09
wont be wanting to slam the golf and want a 35-40mm drop with a firmer ride but not a back breaker plus summit that wont fall to bits in 6 months. ive seen the JOM collies and seem really cheap!! but anyone had experience with H+R suspension kits?  any advice or reviews be good? :smiley:

Mate depends how low you go if you take a huge drop doesnt matter what coils you ahve it will be hard some better than others obviously... But these will be better than Joms and i dare say H+R there is good reviews for many cars for the highsports They are mid range coils!! sadly you get what you pay for mate
