evening all!!

havent been on in an age and wondered if ppl can help?
finally got some wheels after about 2 years of saying im going to
keskin kt3's 15 x 7j et25 and et35 with potenza 165 stretches, brand new off ebay for 370 so quite chuffed with that tbh
(too late to bother with pics, sort tomo)

problem is shes on stilts at the mo, (1.4 8v) and ive got approx £300 to spend on getting her sorted
not sure wheather to go coilys or shocks springs?
been looking at ap coilys and weitec gtn's although its a daily and cant rock it unfortunatly, (i do alot of deliverys of quite heavy goods in her and a mega driveway!!! so im thinking s&s sets instead for better ride?

any recommendations on kits or preferences? also what sort lowerage ppl think looks good on similar wheels and tyres while still being useable?

thanks boys and girls

I would go for coilovers all day mate

I thought my Gti was on stilts until I parked it next to a 1.4 6N2, my god the ride height is bad.
If you want a nice stance then go for coilovers.

AP coilovers are very popular and offer good value for money.
Be aware that coilovers can be very uncomfortable and harsh but offer great improvements in the corners.

I would opt for the AP coilovers rather than the Weitec but its all personal choice.

No worries fella,

Yeah the Roll is bad on all the 6N2's, even the GTI's are pretty poor in the corners.
Coilovers will sort that out nicely
