Coilovers for edition 30
« on: 29 December 2008, 23:04 »
Hi all just joined the forum Looking for some info if possible I'm runin mk5 edition 30 with 30mm h+r springs which are good but was wondering what other coilovers would be best and at a resonable price looking to go bit lower but nothing mental and it still on original 18'' pescari's

thanks Toast :cool:

I used the eibach pro street s on my ED30 and they were great, good price, decent ride quality better than std, and a few lads a know run them so would recommend them, the KW items also get a great right up. the eibach 1's are made by KW and are a little cheaper

I run on Eibach's too and must say that the control is much better than stock. The damping is especially good! :cool:

I looked at both of the wheels you mentioned Toast and erred on the TD's. They are very good indeed and having felt the weight of the stock pescara's against the TD's I was amazed at the difference. The car feels that little bit more nimble too, so it is all good :cool: You can also get VW centres for the TD's quite easily as stock genuine ones fit (I have the part number somewhere :smiley:)

Thanks mate I'm starting to warm more to the Td's in black as my edition 30 is red so was  thinkin drop it on coilovers a bit more and should have a bit of a stealth look to it lol :grin: then next stop comes the diff perhaps
Where abouts did you get your Td's and what price?

My TD's were £895 and included the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's (which are very good in both the wet and dry). I also added the option of having the steel inserts fitted into the bolt holes as they add strength to the centres for high performance cars. :cool:

They are around £600 now. They have had a 17.5% price rise recently and so maybe a little more
