    MK1 Golf Coilovers wanted

    Hi,

    Does anyone have any Coilovers they are willing to sell cheaply? The cheapest i can find is JOM however its difficult to get them sent to Australia. I thought i would ask here before ordering a set online from overseas.

    Kind regards,

    Cheap coilovers are nasty on a MK1. The Golf is too light to make the coilovers work hard so the ride is really uncomfortable.

    Either save your money and get a good set or have a look at my MK2 post (see link in my signature and then go to the bottom of page 19) to see how I got the MK2 to handle well AND ride comfortably. Didn't cost much either.

    Cheers

    Paul

    As said above. At the start the JOM are actually decent, within a month or so of them setting in, they become soooo uncomfortable.

    Koni shocks with springs, or get some ST, they are pretty good bang for buck.

    Anyway, JOMs are easy to get sent down, look at vwheritage, they offer free shipping.
