What's the best value coil over set for a mk2 16v?

Need to upgrade my suspension soon thinking of coilovers are they any good?  There seems to be a wide range of cost out there any hidden gems any one could recommend? Cheers

How much you got to spend, the skys the limit. Use the search tool and type 'coilovers'

I wouldn't fit them... OEM+ for me.....

Unless I won the lottery and could afford to get some Koni's

Got some KW V1 Inoxlines on mine, absolutely amazing! Completely transformed the ride and handling and still comfortable. Got them at trade price through my mate though so thankfully didn't pay the £700 haha

Best that money can buy had a set and wish I still had them if money comes around it on my shopping list for sure!
thats waht I said when I had them it transform the whole car so when you corner you have 100% confidence in going in late in braking no roll, but pure comfort!

TBH £628 from DPM performance is a bloody good price!!!

I had some KW Variant 1 Inox range for my 2007 Audi A3 and they were fantastic, they were on the car 8 month and used in all conditions.
I removed them to turn the car back to standard and they were like new, they just required a quick clean with soapy water and the allen screws in the adjuster rings come straight out and the rings span like they were brand new!!!!

Now i've just seen the price for them at DPM I think i'll be having a set!

So I would be right in thinking that the £200 ones are rubbish,  I need to save some dough, I haven't got the bill for the mot work yet!  Bought some bad ass Dunlop sp sport tyres today so I will wait to upgrade the suspension

Don't do it!! Get some decent shocks and springs.

Me too.

I've just replaced my rear dampers, top plates and bumpstops with OEM parts as the originals were well past their best. The car now sits, rides and handles just as it was designed to. No boucing about and arch scraping lows for me thanks.

Point to note is that it's worth switching to Golf3 GTI top mounts if you're doing top mounts, as they're more robust.  Head off to a scrapyard and whip off the top plates etc from a car in there and couple with whatever struts you fit.

My feelings on suspension are as above really.  It's an area you really get what you pay for and less is definitely less!
