Coilovers For GTI

Post by JoshGTI »

Going to be buying some coilovers for my GTI this month and im wondering what other people are running? I have had a set of KWs on my previous car and was looking at getting them again. Ive also been looking at a set of Eibachs as well?

What are people running and opinions please?

Cheers Josh

Spax are always a good choice. My mate has them on his Golf MK5 GTi, ride is smooth, ride is low. That's really what you look for in coilies :)

I was looking for the best handling within my budget to be honest mate, going as low as you can doesn't always give you the optimum handling!

But it does look good ;)
