[scottyboy08]

hi all again i have been looking on ebay for mk4 suspension kits and i found these coilover sets...are these good for lowering like better than springs and good for the price? and good for my car without damaging existing bits on?

a few people have bought them

IMO - you get what you pay for

[scottyboy08]

but what does that mean lol paying £200 for the kit is that paying good and getting good or is £200 cheap sh!t stuff?

what will the difference be on a cheaper set though? performance or quality because my car is only a 1.4 so if its performance you get less of its no big shakes because its not really a speed demon anyhow lol

ah for 1.4 cheaper would prob be ok

quality and performance in some cases suffers tbh

can't really comment on what you've linked too as i've not got it - guess time will tell for those who have bought it and if they experience any problems - fingers crossed they don't and then it will be a proper bargain  

[scottyboy08]

yeah  as i just looked at the vwspeed.com website and £500 for the eibach coilovers is too much for me mate i was looking at getting a kit similar to the ones i linked for maybe £200 and then hopefully get them fitted for £100ish then its lowered for around £300 hehe

[Rhyso]

tbh i'd just go for springs mate - get some Eibach's for £120ish and get them fitted and save yourself a few quid

will be cheaper to replace the shocks and springs if you run into problems as they are seperate units

'coilovers' are one sealed unit so if something goes wrong you need an entire new unit
