Title: still on the suspension..
Post by: GSY-Golf-GTI on 20 May 2008, 19:35
I've asked so many questions about this but now I finally have the money and I have a bit more than I thought so...
I was going to get some hottuning coilies, then i found these two sets:

and

http://www.venommotorsport.com/product_details.php?id=2304&manufacturer=AP&category=Suspension

any ideas?

I'll be ordering in the next day or so :D along with a nice shiney front strut brace.. and possibly new bushes?

I'd get these, the ones with 2 springs on the shocks that you first posted, i find a lot harsher ride compared to the progressive spings. Thats only my opinion tho.

The pic may not be of the actual product though?

Each kit consists of a full coilover with built in bump stop and helper spring

Didnt read the small print Mew, just aswel someone did :laugh:

Imo i would avoid coilies with helper spring, just makes the ride too stiff and comfortable. For track day use i wouldnt get anything else but for out sh!tty ass roads, you get the idea.
