I have a 8v 2.0 gti, done low miles but undamped and sitting too high, looking to put a full suspension kit on it I have a budget of around £250 or less, what kit have people used or can recommend please.

At the moment people seem to be raving about these coilovers from a company called Hottuning that operate mainly on ebay. They are around £200 and are height adjustable and set to 30% uprated in terms of dampning.
here is the link:

Seems a good price, does anyone know how bad the ride would be on them.

everybody who has these say there fairly firm but make the car grip well....i cant see them being much harder than any cheap spring shock kit...

You need to get it down to your local garage and get them to airgun it off and then put it back on it's the only way you'll be able to do it. it only takes two minutes then you can take it back home and they come off easy as you like!

if you offer £160 for the hottuning ones you should get them, thats what i paid for the VR's ones

Whats the ride like on them and were they easy to set up.

Ive got the same issue really mate. Im looking to spend about the same amount of cash and obviously want the best set up i can buy. I do around 300 miles travelling a week so need the car not to be to firm but obviously i want it to sit right and handle well.
I personally think that i would be better buying a high quality sports suspension set up like the koni str t's or maybe bilstein b10's these set ups are the best kits that these renowned and high quality suspension manufacturers offer rather than some unknown german brand who only sell thier coilovers cheap as chips on ebay.
Now im not saying the hottuning kits are bad quality. Thats not my point. Point is do u buy the highest quaility sports set up available or do u buy a very popular coilover set up that may not be the best ride quality but does the job admirably and is reccomended by loads of people on here?........

I have recently changed my suspension over to coilover very impressed with the handling and the ride is not as bad i thought it may of been! I had to break the top centre nut as mine were siezed i drilled through the nut to break it off the strut if you take it easy its not to bad a job!
