Yes I know another coilover thread (Weitec/FK Highsport or AP'S ??)
« on: October 03, 2013, 08:24:30 am »
Will be ordering some coils for the mk5 when I return from Holiday. Looks for opinions on the above coilovers, ride quality and build quality ?

Im not looking to run "scene lows" but something more than a set of springs can offer. Iits a daily for the wife so needs to ride as close to stock as poss (I know the lower you go the worse it will be)

Yes I know Ultra lows are the best but im not spending 1k on coils for the wifes daily..


Soo pics and opinions would be great!!



Thanks in advance
Dave

From that list i'd choose the weitecs.  I did 70k miles on a set on my last vRS, very good kit, comfy too.

Current car has H&R monotubes, better ride but a lot more money than the Weitecs.

How are finding the Monotubes? I think they'll be the ones going on my car soon.

They're very good.  Prob too soft if you're doing track days but lovely on the road.  Much better setup for me than the Bilstein b16's I had before.

40k on Weitecs. Very happy with them. The ride is better than the OEM Audi S-Line suspension I had, but will probably not be quite as supple as a GTI

That's exactly as I'd decsribe the weitecs too.  Spot on.

H&R are more supple than weitec but you can't fault weitecs for the money.
