they are the hottuning coilovers, and are actually v good. Most people on here that have lowered their golf's have got 'em. Very good for the price.

I set up group buys for the them @ £150 delivered.

i've got em there great value for money but in a g60 if your not bothered about spending money i'd get pay as much as you can afford! you'll never regret it. there a hard ride but so most coilies will be.

theres loads of info on here just use the search,

honestly, compared to a £500+ set of coilovers they feel pretty rubbish, but for the money they are ok.

Yeah, thats fair- I've got the hottuning coilies and they're a bit bouncyand the rides a tad bumpy,but as said already, all coilies will be bumpy- but not too bad and for the money, they can't be beat...

I've had mine on since late March and done 4-5000 miles on em with no problems... :smiley:

i have the jamex ones on mine, think they are same as hottuning ones, use my car daily, use it to haul djs to and from aiorports and to get to all my DJ gigs

had them on a year, not one problem at all, not quite as good as the koni set up on my other car but for the money i think they are awesome

you get a 2 year warrenty on them anyhow so your good for that amount of time

i have venom coils on my mk3. they were £150 brand new from a bloke on ebay who had paid £200 for them but then realized he wouldnt be able to park on his drive if fitted.

fitted to mine. the drive is now hard as fook. but you get used to it. gives it the go kart feel. and it does actually go round corners like one too
