Fitting a New Suspension

[16vmk3ash]

Whats the ride like with the Weitic?

[16vmk3ash]

Checked out the kit, which 1 have u got fitted the EC, GT or the TX? and what drop did u go for the 25mm or the 50mm?

[golfvr6]

I think the one i got they don't make anymore. The drop is 25mm , and the ride is firm but not to harsh. I think the equivalent is the ec or gt kit. C&R seem to know there stuff, give them a ring for a chat.

weitic., never heard any good points about these! I know a couple of people that use it and well can't wait to lose it, thats on mk2 golfs mind not mk3 ! as said earlier pay your money take a chance ! its up to you what you like!

Kevin,

I'm not being funny mate but you seem to think everything is sh!t     Konis have the reputation of being the best money can buy, Modulator has just bought some and they do look very well made. As for the weitic kit , it is made in germany, and the kit i received was of the highest quality , unlike the boge sh!t i got from GSF. What you got on your corrado ?

[kevin]

it had i think i got the name correct powertech ? coilovers but they were way to harsh from harry nijjar at super golfs , so have now gone back to shocks and springs,shes running bilsteins sport shocks with apex springs and vr6 top mounts with powerflex bushes only lowered 35mm so have got a little bit of comfort !
As for in my eyes everything is crap!!  i have said from the start of this thread you pay your money you take a chance , i personaly have had problems with konis and so have lots of other people i know,so i was just airing my views,as for the weitec set up , i truthfully have never heard a good word said about them,but as stated thats on mk2s, cgti chassis section is a good place to view reports of all types of suspension set ups,
I think suspension is a personal matter some like it slammed and very harsh and others just want a nice stance with better handling,
GOLFVR6 no offence ment just sharing my experience.

Having driven GOLF VR6's VR6 I can say that the kit he has is excellent, it rides far better than any other MK3 I have driven and compared to what it used to be like it is like a different car.

As for the Koni's, I have heard about problems with leaking but any mass produced will have problems, you cant help it and I hear that Koni will repair of replace with no quibble which is more than most the other makes do.

I have Eibach springs on my car and will soon have Koni dampers all round. In my eyes this is the best set up for the money I want to spend and I am sure I will be pleased with the result.

As for changing the front suspension, I have got it down to about 15 mins a side now with the help of GOLF VR6 and the only reason we are so good is replacing Boge suspension and GSF top mounts.

You do indeed pay your money and take your choice.

the ride with the konis is sh1t hot but keep your eibach springs, i have tried both the eibach koni set up and the koni ssk, and to be fair the first is in my eyes the best set up!I think this point can be argued all day,whats best ,whats lowest ,whats more comfortable,etc,etc,etc,but we all have our prefferences to what we think is best thats why we take our time to join forums and to get as much info as we can and to help out other members or to put our views across!
 I personally have not used the weitec set up and i am not slagging of GOLFVR6 ride at all, as said its a personal thing thank god we are all different!!
on another note i have used avo coilovers on approx. four of my dubs without any probs but on a other forum they do nothing but slag them off, .So everyones opinion is different,some get good results ,others bad.
you pay your money you take your chance

We will see what Koni dampers and eibach springs are like put together soon, when you wanna get it done Mod?

[modulater]

It will need to be done soon as I'm scared the struts are gonna go through the bonnet when the GSF mounts fail.

No worries kevin, thats what this forum is about getting tips and ideas from others. I will keep the Eibachs as they are excellent quality and they are the same colour as my car lol.

love the corrado, thats a wicked motor.
