Need help please

[Rich]

Hi,


My car has gone in for its new kit fitting this week and next week.

Mark, bloke looking after me there has said i'll need some coilovers to lower it more at the back... and obviously spacers... otherwise it won't look right


The spacers i'm dealing with at the moment...


But I need some help what advice and where to get a set of good priced coiler overs from... Eibach want £750 which i just cant afford at the moment 


I've seen these on eBay

I really need it to be around the £300 mark ish

Anyone know of coilovers they can recomend ??

Any info/help is really helpful


Cheers

i think tom got some AP coilovers fitted for quite a reasonable price from awesome. i was a bit sceptical at first but he said he would buy them again.

[nick-barnes07]

the ap coilovers get good write ups, and they are made in the same factory as kw coilovers are made, so may use similar parts!!!! i would go for ap's if it was me and i was on a budget

[Rich]

Sent Cooper a msg on the coilovers

[Rich]

Sigh - Cooper just sold the Coilovers....


I'm just looking at the AP Coil overs now... they dont have one my Golf V 1.4 TSi... just the GTi and R32...


Will the GTi ones be ok ??

Thanks for the referral Luca!
