Hi to all
Ive come across a set of raceland coilovers on ebay for £189 :undecided:
Is anyone out there using these or shound i just get my money out for KW's :shocked:
I am a man who belives in you pay for what you get and for just under £200 i'm thinking there going to be sh!t !!!
any help wounld be nice.
-
they are the hottuning coilovers, and are actually v good. Most people on here that have lowered their golf's have got 'em. Very good for the price.
I set up group buys for the them @ £150 delivered.
LL ;)

how long have you had them on your car for?
how do they compare to v1 kw's (well apart for the money that is)
i use my car hard so need something thats going to lasted :laugh:
so come on then how many people are using them???
:smug:

i've got em there great value for money but in a g60 if your not bothered about spending money i'd get pay as much as you can afford! you'll never regret it. there a hard ride but so most coilies will be.
theres loads of info on here just use the search,
-
honestly, compared to a £500+ set of coilovers they feel pretty rubbish, but for the money they are ok.

Yeah, thats fair- I've got the hottuning coilies and they're a bit bouncyand the rides a tad bumpy,but as said already, all coilies will be bumpy- but not too bad and for the money, they can't be beat...
I've had mine on since late March and done 4-5000 miles on em with no problems... :smiley:
-
:huh: well sounds good so far but what do you boys use your cars for??
low and slow or for handling
im not one for stopping for speed hump so will not be on its ass :grin:
im keeping my car so i think i going to save up the money for a set of kw or something like that!!
if you think im being a fool for doing so let me know !!! :laugh:
-
i have the jamex ones on mine, think they are same as hottuning ones, use my car daily, use it to haul djs to and from aiorports and to get to all my DJ gigs
had them on a year, not one problem at all, not quite as good as the koni set up on my other car but for the money i think they are awesome
you get a 2 year warrenty on them anyhow so your good for that amount of time
-
they defo have a big impact on handling. I dont have mine slammed, as i cant even get my driveway as it is!!

i have venom coils on my mk3. they were £150 brand new from a bloke on ebay who had paid £200 for them but then realized he wouldnt be able to park on his drive if fitted.
fitted to mine. the drive is now hard as fook. but you get used to it. gives it the go kart feel. and it does actually go round corners like one too
-

i have these coilovers on my car, they are ok for the corners, but give you a sore ass as they are bumpy as hell.....

For that money buy Weitec. Stainless threads, piss easy height adjustment, great ride and handling.

well as they fit a corrado and mk2 and 3 the spring rates will be wrong.

i have the hot tuuning ones on my mk3 cant fault them ! and for 150 good price.
if you are going to get a 500+ set up save up for fully adjustable ones ( height and damper )
