coilover/suspension kit question

[davemk4]

After having my arse fed to me on a plate last night by a hyundai coupe bag of crap on a round about i wanna sort this handling out. Dont worry i killed him after the roundabout  boost!

Current mods ARB , vrs beam bushes, rear boot beam, tt front bushes, poly dog bone mount, s3 lower brace, strut brace. Current suspension srt koni 40% uprated shockers and h&r 35mm cup springs. Only a year old.

Now im not wanting 80mm lowering etc. Im keeping this as a daily comfy driver etc but happy to have it harder!. Now i want to lower to 40/45mm as the kit i got wasnt for gtis so really im only lowered 25mm or so 

Now got upto 600 to spend. Seen spax adjustable kits which are shockers and springs but with 28 dampening settings had a simlar kit on last car and really could tell when knob was adjusted. About 410 delivered and lowers 50mm front 45mm rear.

Or for another 100 or ao can get spax coilovers 35mm rear and 20-80mm front and adjustable dampening.

Anyone got experience with these? Or any other recomendations to sort the bus handling out?

Audi TT hubs, rack, arms with superpro poly bushes all round will change the whole feel of the car mate, best mod I've done on mine by far

I have a set of Gaz coil overs on my Mk3 and loving them.
Big step up from worn Koni TA & Eibach pro type lowered springs

Like the Spax they are british.
Mine were used & had unknown history, so sent them back to Gaz for servicing, it was very cheap -only £30 a corner.

What size wheels are you running? finding my montreal 2's with the standard balloon sized rubber to be pretty poor

Spax are a very well respected brand (the psx my best selling suspension kit) and the feedback I've had has being great, I would recommend them if you want to keep comfort and then when you want true handling you can adjust them in a few minutes and stiffen it up (for a bit of fun)

b.t.w My price for a PSX on the Mk4 is £415 delivered and the coilover kit VSX is £670 delivered

What mm drop you list for the psx?

What mm drop you list for the psx?

I list a 35mm drop and a 50/40mm drop kit for the 1.8 upwards (inc the turbo)

i've got GAZ coilovers up front with adjustable dampeners and koni rear coilovers

quite harsh on the road so looking to go back to spring and shock and they do decent drops as well

I got my golf handling nicely now, I got a decent set of coilover (bilstein b16 pss9) but I've had to change a lot of parts. I highly recommend a limited slip differential if you can budget for it.

Well read up on rax spax coilovers. Sound crap. Even on super soft setting they reportdly are very harsh bouncy ride. Seems quality iffy too.

So now what? I wanna get these ordered as my 1 year old koni has blown under warranty so want coils ready to swap on.

Now shocking as tgis is. BC coilovers dont list the mm drop! Dont know if any one knowa if adjustable front and rear? Anyone know h&r coilovers any good? Got 800 to spend. And want adjustment front and back both in dampening and mm drop
