Coilovers
« on: August 19, 2012, 11:50:44 am »
Why do people talk about coilovers when the Golf doesn't (and can't) have them fitted?

Another question I have is why, in a lot of these so called coilover kits, eg Bilstein B16 etc, do you get nice shiny plated front shocks and only painted rear ones?

Discuss. :smiley:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
