Cheers for that, might give it a go if i choose that route.  :smiley:




anyone know anything on these?  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/COIL-OVER-COILOVER-VW-GOLF-MK3-ADJUSTABLE-SUSPENSION_W0QQitemZ170273951571QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item170273951571&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1689%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318


ah forget that. . just been reading about them in the discounts page. maybe them or jamex ones as don't want to spend too much but then might suffer and they not last so long?

The choice is yours, I would not use them again to be honest but a lot of people are running them and are happy.

Absolutely fine ride, Wayne is just a man who likes comfort. If you don't care about a bounce here and there, and slamming hard on occasions then get them, also, if you got a gf who isn't wearing a bra in the car because she was in her jymjams, great fun watching them...ahem...bounce lol!


Seriously though, great for the money, if I get another MK3 after this, I'll be getting those straight away.

I had other issues as well as comfort, the car was never level and no amount of measuring got it right, they were noisy when cold from the springs.

The ride was shocking, I have lowered many cars and yes the ride suffers but it was just stupid.

But having said all the above if your looking for a cheap set of coilovers then go for it but I would save a bit more and go for a complete spring / shock kit.

If I had another mk3, I would go for a Bilstein or Koni kit.

**Bouncy bouncy**


Drew, I really can't fault them, I do see where Wayne is coming from but he mentions of things I've not had with mine, for example the squeaking when cold, mine don't make a sound ever, not even on frosty morning back in Jan/Feb.


shep agrees, as does Adam, as do I. The majority of this forum have them, and let's face it, you don't want to pay stupid money for a set of coilovers for a car that is worth on average less than 1K surely. Keep it cheap, but you get a good deal on this one.
