Coilies vs Lowering Springs

[GTi_James]

morning all, i'm about to waste more money on the golf, wondering which would be better with 18s, lowering springs? or coilies?

and piks of of cars lowered at 30, 40, 50 etc etc would help as i dont want to be rediculously low, just enough to look smart

many thanks guys

Jebus there's like a thread a week on this try searching coil overs etc you will get loads of info simples if you want comfort and not to low go with springs and shocks and if you want lower than say 30 to 40mm I would recommend coil overs which start from your basic joms for about £150 up to your better brands like weitec and kw for say £500 odds

By e sounds of it if our wanting to go low to be cool as you said probably coilovers would be your best bet so in that case say what your willing to pay and we can recommend some

Im looking at around £200 and going to be running 18s

Then don't go for coilovers, the ride will be shocking!

As said depends how low you want to go there are plenty that run joms and are happy as Dom said the ride is not as good as a decent set of coils or springs and shocks would be if I was you I would save up more and get a better set of coils like ap, Kw or weitec

Yeah, my JOMs were fine for the first 6 months, then the fronts leaked some oil & they've been sh!t since

Nae fine Dom..... But as said they are cheap would of Thought 6mths was a bit premature even for them
