Big ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH

[gti fly bye]

it's a new concept I'm trying. Instead of cutting the springs with the angle grinder to get your car lower you snap them. only trouble is it doesn't look any lower. the handling is still just as sh!te.

Thats the nuts of an idea mate, i'm gonna go do it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll sell you mine if you want

alright steve. brakes are going on next week.

[Jimbobsbig.69]

Yo i'd look at some other alternatives to the Raceland stuff if you want it to last, I've heard some bad reports.

[Dizzie]

I'd heard good ones for the money.
I can't afford anything at the mo with this engine swap going on.
Will have to settle with something cheaper than ?600 koni's for now

venom are selling supersport coilovers for ?340 in the golf at the moment. they will be better than the raceland ones.

[Blue MK2]

i have some supersport goldlines on mine.

harsh ride

[Dizzie]

the supersport ones don't have damping adjustment on them.
Raceland were out of stock so I just bought some 16v -60mm springs for now. Hopefully will be here tomorrow so I don't have to drive anywhere else with a broken spring. Iwent for the 16v ones to cope with my 20v being slghtly heavier than the 8v.

[VeeDubGTI16v]

yea but when are you ever gonna adjust the dampening???


if you are putting a new engine in you really need to get some custom coilovers that are setup perfectly to the weihght of your car, and cos you have done an engine transplant no off the shelf kit will be set up for your car.

[Dizzie]

now you tell me!
I'll tell the lads doing the swap to see if they can get it handling better when the transplant is done.

lol

just been chatting to a mate who put a 2 litre 16V in a nova (yes i know ) and he got some custom shocks for the front. you might be able to get springs for different weights. surely someone else knows on this site?
