Suspension overhaul on the cheap
« on: 10 July 2012, 21:31 »
Hi, I am pretty sure the golf is running on its original suspension kit as its quite bouncy yet crashy on bumps. Ideally i would have liked a full weitec kit but these are around £350 and not really economical on a sub £800 car. Then there are OEM damper replacements but even these will set me back nearly £160 and i might as well get a full kit with a slight drop. Any recommendations, i had recently seen JOM and Prosport cheap on ebay so has anyone tried these or heard if they are ok/complete trash?
