Ok, so i have a set of cheapo coilovers that came with my Mk1 when i bought it but there so damn stiff i feel like parts are going to fall of the car everytime i go over tram tracks at speeds higher the 5kph.
whats the solution to getting into the slammed society without needing to wear a neck brace when i drive.
i need low and i need comfort, if there anyone who can help me??

You get what you pay for with cheap coils!
Even so, a 'slammed' mk 1 (regardless of brand of coils) is never exactly going to be 'comfortable'
airride should be more comfortable! but comes at a $$

A mk1, regardless of height, is sex. IMO

Add to the fact the lower you go you then need to correct steering geometry, chassis clearance (notches for drive shafts) and the mandatory guard rolling.
Getting low properly (comfortable or not) is not cheap.

Yeah, coming to the feeling that bags are the only way to get what I wantso many dollars of money though!! Anyone know a cheap place to get it done. Best quote I've had so far is 5k engineered!

Noones mentioned Strup top extenders and drop plates???
a decent set of coils will also let u get lower without as much discomfort but then again only so low before u start bashing up and down again. the difference between my JOM coilovers and KW V1s is massive!
Do some research mate plenty of guys with mass lows and no airbags. I put strut top extenders on the rocco which gave me almost an inch extra lows without adjusting the coils hence you get lower without so much bashing about. The rears i am still trying to sort out haha
