Coilovers for a mk1

[DubSteve]

i have variant 3 KW for my race car golf mk1 project.

paid $2500

I also have KW V2's in my mk3 but not going to spend that kind of money even with V1s.

Anyone with Weitecs?

I'm also interested to see how this pans out.

Chances are hottuning will be the best bang for your buck.

Ride isn't that back in Josh's. But that's also on standard profile tyres.

I've driven Doms with a full car load, and I don't remember it being overly rough or anything

And be wary that the cabrio has a lot harder springs than a stock mk1 too Steve due to the weight factor...

In my 4 door i had Koni adjustable coilovers in the front and just lowered (and stiffer springs in the back.

It rode as hard as hell but was amazing through corners!

it didn't have that nasty kick back when the rear went out either.

these are about $1500 i think for a full set...not sure about just 2.

hope this helps.

Ive got Hot Tuning coilovers $750 from evorobin

they go v.low and handle pretty well for what they are they were pretty stiff at the start but have softened up over time.

better than king springs and blown shocks i say!

I'd really like to know how they ride with lower profile tyres.

anyone else with hottunings car to tune in? esp if you have lower profile tyres?

I have hottuning ones also from Evorobin, I am also running standard profile tyres. The ride is a little choppy so I imagine it would be harsh on lower profiles, say 50's would be as low a profile I would want to go.

Handles much better than it did before with standard equipment and it is much lower, which makes it look sweet.

Very cheap product for what you get..

How much did you get your coilovers for if you don't mind me asking?

i run fk out of germany via goingfast(german ebay store and year or two ago) they have been great ran them for a while with wide 13's so handling wise i cant tell you but height wise they go as low as you could possible want.they are the entry level as far as struts go and can be purchased with koni inserts and so on

am very happy with my set

cost wise from memory $850ish

Alex how much was shipping from Germany for these?
