Replacement Coilovers, New? Second Hand? Where? Please help.

[kendog]

Those ST coilovers are of reasonable quality, but at the end of the day they are an entry level low budget coilover with no adjustability other than height.

The cup kits are a matched set of lowering springs and new shocks. Personally I would prefer to have a cup kit (and this is what I normally do) instead of an entry level coilover.

Also, what do you think of the Bilstein ones without damp adjust?

I can get a set of those 'today' for about $1850.

I have just been baulking at the price... add on some new factory mounts, we're around $2k... and the car is only insured for a bit over $5k... Not sure.

These OK? or Cup Kit a better option (even if I have to order from OS and wait)?

Thanks!

Those Bilsteins are directly comparible to the ST coilovers - essentially the same, just different brands. Same/similar pricing, so choose whichever you prefer.

And yes it is a lot of $$ to spend on a Mk4, totally understand that.

The Cup kits will be....what....about $500 cheaper? So around $1200-1400 or so? These will give you the same/similar ride quality but the only thing you are missing out on is the ability to choose your ride height.
