Ok, I was wondering if you fine people could help me out with a few suspension basics.

I really don't want to spend £600 on a coilover kit. Is my only other option a set of springs? Or what about springs and dampers?

Or what about i hav'nt a clue what i'm on about! hehe.

Help me................. Please :p

Koni have some s**t hot suspension which will lower your car 35mm and has adjustable dampers.

retails for £225

hope that helps

Thems the very fellows for me!!!

Ok I will have a look tomorrow but just in case :p, do you happen to have a link. And an approx cost to get it fitted?

I love you all you clever clever people :p

right
if you want -50mm or more it aint gonna be cheap
the cheapest i've found is FK's budget coil-overs which are still pretty good
on this link : http://www.street-racers-shop.co.uk/rac ... ension.htm
then goto fk, then vw
the cost 400 quid but they have the ability to lower upto -75mm
failing that fixed height suspension will be cheaper, in the 200's
Spax did rob me of 600 quid, but u get wat u pay for as they say
if you wanna go as low as 50mm u will need uprated dampers aswell

fitting them is hard for the first time, but you will save alot of money if u D.I.Y it i got quoted 380 quid from a garage to fit them, they charged 50 quid an hour labour! i said F**k off tbh, fitting them is straightforward aslong as you have two jacks, axle stand and lots of tools, just dont expect to have it done in a few hours

hope this helps
-Ben-

800 quid gave me KW V2`s not fitted but they have adjustabe rebound and height (duh!) ive had them at -110mm and no problems and the grip when there on is increadable (ask a gent with a mk3.5 golf)
