....suspension thread. 

I am getting these http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?a=i&k=s&p=13480001A

And I want to know what else I should get whilst I am at it. Bushes etc??. I am trying to work out how much it will cost in all see.

Me and a friend are going to do the work ourselves so thats free.

My current suspension is knackered and I am keen to improve anything I can whilst I am down there!

Cheers!

they are for mk1 

Get new top mounts. Thats a must.

As above, Mk1 coilovers will not fit a Mk3

Also as above new top mounts are required, other than that you should be ok

[dan_apps]

some people would coat them too to preserve them longer, i believe clear undercoat is a popular choice, just on the threads etc.

[jobody]

Sh*t! Was going to order them, must be blinded by the cheaper price tag!

So these will be ok for mk3 16v?   http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?a=i&p=13280004I&part=VW-Golf-Mk3-Vento-2WD-Hatch-Cabrio-Weitec-Hicon-GT-Coilover-Kit

So top mounts eh, as I am splashing out on coilovers, are there decent top mounts I should get or are they much of a muchness?

Thanks guys.

Why spend so much? plus they only got down 70mm....the ebay ones go  down more surely?

Because they are much better quality than the eBay ones, that said i'm sure you can pick up a set with adjustable damping for less than that

while you are down there how are your rear axle bushes holding up? do you get loud bangs from the back when you go over small bumps?

Iv never personally ran eBay ones as iv got koni's but for 400 plus quid I'd want at least more drop than that! But thats just me!

must say the koni's on my mk3 have been brilliant... transformed the car
