No worries, the hotuning coilovers are ok but if set silly low then the ride will be very harsh.

If you want a decent ride quality you wont get it with the Hottunning coilies!

kewl, gaz wer did you get your coilovers from? and are they new? im thinking of getting coilovers but everyone has mixed feelings about them. like i said iv got a budget of £250 MAX i just want a nice sexc drop you get me? none of that slammed to the floor iv got speed humps in my ends to. want it to be level & because ive got 2 12" subs they weight a bomb so thats another reason.

Thanks

ok couple of things, what the hell does 'you get me?' mean? also if your not intending to do 'none of that slammed stuff' then why are you buying coilovers? just go buy a set of lowerd suspension then you wont moan about ride quality..

Do you have them on your car Len?  :rolleyes:

Nothing wrong with the ride on mine, no worse than any other cheap coils I have used before anyway.  :smiley:

shep no offence but you do have a problem mate as you always got a prob with me or my car. sad! you get me is just a way of saying do you understand me?  :tongue: and reason why i want coilovers is that i have a heavy bass box in my car and the back suspension is realy low! but na u got some bogus thing to say. so i know that if i get lowering springs the back will be more lower than the front. also i could lower it they way i want to. that explain things to you?

p.s IF YOU READ THAT POST PROPERLY YOU PROB WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OH OK THEN.

  • Back in a Mk3...
here's my 10p worth......
most cheaper coilies are very very similar (hottuning,vmax and jamex are identical exept branding! and I guess janspeed will be the same?) so which ever you buy the ride will be the same until you get some proper adjustable one's etc

oh and people need to chill  :wink:  :tongue:
