Coilover query

Yeah 16s was gonna be the idea with some stretch wrapped around em, not looking to do any arch work if I can help it. Its either some Borbets or Ronals but cant decide lol. Maybe not the huge drop if its really gonna be that hard work to drive around...decisions man.

General opinion is that -40mm for max handling benifits from stock golf height. Ie how the 16v left the factory Reason being is the driveshaft is paralelle to ground.

Its nothing to do with the driveshaft, all to do with the overall geometry of the suspension but the figure isnt far wrong lol.

I know what i mean...

you mean wishbones not driveshafts. driveshafts at silly angles are still bad as you will chew through CVs

Go get a set of Hotturding coilovers then and bounce your way down the road.

Are the hot tuning ones really that bad ?   I asked about them in the offers thread, but didnt really get any answers !!

Cheers

Me too, I may have to buy and set and see for myself, if I dont like them they're not difficult to swap back and bound to get a fair bit back for them.   I just dont want to spend 5-600 on a top quality set, nearly half what my car's worth !!!

basically you get what you pay for, there isnt a cheap decent coilover unfortunately.

I have been told Ritter are a decent make, FK sister company and they weigh in at £293 I think when I last checked...
