coilovers, whats what?

[Steve_PD]

My Weitecs have covered over 100k now and are still fine

[GTi_James]

Can you stretch to a set of Weitec GT's?

how much? ive come to the conclusion that the scotland trip, which includes hilton lodge accomodation, can be her big birthday present so i may have more to play around with  depends obviously cause ARB's, braces and new forge SMIC are in the pipeline

how much if you dont mind?

ok what about these?

i've heard FK and other brands being thrown about the place...is there somewhere on here where someone has put together a shopping list for a MK4 GTi 1.8t detailing best parts to buy etc?

i know what needs to be done to mine but a list of items such as ARB's, Struts, pipes etc would be quite handy

Raceland, Hottuning, TA technix, FK, JOM's & V-maxx are all made in the same factory.

Can highly reccommend AP coilovers, make my Mk3 drive better than a Mk4

will take a peek at these as my mate mentioned them, has them on a Leon Curpa

[Steve_PD]

I paid £375 IIRC around £450-500 now

[GTi_James]

go$d!)*£1 inflation. but i can get trader discount cant i? or should i say my mate can  if it applies?

[cobalt6700]

I just paid £375 for a set from Awesome.

Never had coilovers before, and have to say i'm impressed with the AP's 

Was really worried about bouncing down the road and having my back smashed to a pulp by bumps. But its not bad at all.

And I suppose ARBs, struts and braces make the car what it is supposed to be when taking corners as well? Anyway looks like the coilovers are on hold, started the engine after work and my exhaust now sounds like a harly which isn't good. Mate has let me use an old merchant exhaust that's been retro fitted until I get my miltek next month 

Will keep your opinions in mind though for future use
