coilovers

[mk3pete]

hey people just want too know wat people think about their coilovers how they drive wat they feel like regardless of wat brand
also wonder whether they will give you better traction off the line

KW v2 last editions here.
AMAZING around corners & much improved ride quality over stock.
Traction off the line is more a function of tires and throttle control then suspension setup BUT, my car doesnt rock back when I floor it nor dive forward when I brake hard.

If traction off the line is your only prioity, then get semi slicks.

I've seen the Weitecs before, are they any good?

[evorobin]

I've got Weitec GTN coilovers. Front coilover rear adjustable height seated strut. Great in my opinion.

I can voutch for V3 KWs....
second to none....
Big $$ but well worth it IMO.
Really depends on what you want...
(1) to lower your car with a bit better dampening
(2) make your car handle well
(3) tune the car to your style etc..

if you are in V2 price range...save a bit more and go V3 its worth it!

I rate them highly, I have personally bought 3 kits over the years and TBH IMHO it's not worth spending extra on the top adjustable ones if you are getting the std springs and shocks kits.

The damping on the non-adjustable shocks is the same as the adjustable ones set to full stiffness, which is what you would have them set to anyway.

Robins GTN kit was no harder to fit than std stuff but be aware that you may need to take the back ones apart a couple of times ,to get the ride-height how you want.
