Budget coilovers?

Post by jakovdub »

hey guys as pay day arises i thought i might start in getting some mods together before my car arrives this week or next, just seen some TA Hot tuning coils on ebay for £200 and was wondering if anyone is running these and what they are like? i don't want to spend £500+ when something this cheap can do the same job if you know what i mean, i know a few of you are running these but would like to know if anyone else is

I had these on my 9n3 gti mate. Looked good quality, but to be fair they wern't brilliant. They used to sqeek and the ride was very harsh. I would seriously look into either Ap racing or weitec over these mate. You really do get what you pay for with coilys.

tbh mate i dont really no, but ad guess with coils £50 is f**k all really, if ya want propa good ones gota pay out ya nose, but unless ya building a track day car i really done see the point, and normaly with the more expensive ones they will only drop 40mm at the most and others will drop 60 to 80-85 wiith the helpers out

Cheap s**t coilovers make the baby Jesus cry.

You will regret it when the bone shaking ride has rattled you to death.
