    FK's are too harsh? Try Hot Tunings!

    from what I know Weitecs are basically re-badged KW's. From my experience KW's ride nice and plush!

    Get a hold of Lorenz or evorobin from Slammed Distribution

    Also it may be your "low profile" tyres that give a harsh ride.

    Yeah, I just changed from 16 inch wheels with 55 profile tyres to 17 inch wheels with 45 profile and the change was instantly noticeable. I'm actually really glad now that I didn't go with my initial plan of 18 inch wheels.

    IMO, Weitec Hicon GT is best value for money coilover, it's not as cheap as hottuning crapies, and won't break your bank account as KW does. I have it in my Mk2 and I love it.

    Maybe contact Preen59 about his KW group buy - the V1s are basically the same as the Hicon GT but with better finish although there is a post from DPM Performance saying that the KW has better internals - 6th post here. And if you look at the link in the above post, DPM has the KW V1 Basic at only 40 pounds more than the Weitec Hicon GT.
