Coilovers
« on: 11 March 2009, 11:25 »
I have just contacted my coilover provider (the ones of ebay that a lot of people have got) to tell them that they are no good for the 2nd time. Is this the way i drive or have i just been unfortunate with getting a bad batch? You dont have to drive a certain way with them do you? Thought the point was you could drive hard on them......

It is the chrome part that comes up out of the top of the strutt that has got flex in the joint back to the strutt. (is this the bearings?)

Suppose the good part is that they are agreeing to send me another set out for free!!! :smiley:  :cool:  :smiley:

I have them on a mk3, and they are "OK" although i do have them slammed to the point where i dont think the brand of coilover makes a difference until you spend mega bucks.

How low did you have them?

To be honest they are built and should cope with that kind of drop.
