Could anybody recomend me some good cheap coilovers for my mk3 estate, i assume coilovers for the mk3 hatchback are the same as the estate? handling and performance is irrelevent i just want it super low.

I'm not sure whether estate and hatch suspension is the same but i'm sure someone else will answer that!

Cheap coilovers are all pretty much the same and have a very harsh ride, i'm pretty sure Kells is running on a Jamex setup tho so it'd be worth asking him about it.

i am indeed

been on the car about 3 years, they are firm (which i like) but some people dont like firm, i run mine quite low have done since i got em, and 25k miles on they are still spot on with no issues

remember, they are very firm, but not as bad as other (non vag) cars iv been iin that are dropped the same amount

£180 deliverd seems like a bargain to me, last time i brought coilovers manny moons ago i paid well over £500 

ALSO can anybody confirm if hatchback kits will fit my estate?

[Mikester]

They will fit im sure, but as its a one kit fits all they do react a bit different over time depending on the engine size and weight of the car. As a 1.4 hatch is a lot less strain than a VR6 hatch or estate.

I personally had a set and thought they were rubbish ride, but cheap to do the job really... Lasted about 20k then leaked and died.

[Bellend]

Front hatchback coilovers fit the estates but the REARS DO NOT.

The estate coilover sets are more expensive.

Ive had Jamex on mine since November , to be honest wish never put them on, and spent more money on a set , the paint on the springs have been peeling bad recently , so took it back to performance 3000 and they were just trying fob me off, eventually agreed to replace the springs with new ones.

So all in if you can spend a little bit more money on a set , and dont buy from performance 3000!!

Estate rears are different
