coilovers, whos running what?, are you happy with them?

right the time has come to splash out on a set of coilovers, im after a set around the £200 mark or less if possibe,theres alot of choice for that amout on ebay but is it worth t? so what are you running and hows the ride?, buld quality?, etc...

diolch

Ive had 3 different coilover kits on 2 different styled cars.

Jamex coileys on the bora overall softish not too hard very nice ride. £300
Hot Tuning on my 1st mk1, awsome coiley for the price i paid, stiff but not too stiff quite happily riding round on about 100mm drop no worries. £160
Koni Coileys on my current mk1. Awsome ride and holds really well superb but costs a lot more than the other two.

Hot Tuning, Jamex are like fairly budget coiley and theyve both served me well, would recomend to anyone

Im on supersports on the mk1, all ill say is my dentist bill every month is pretty expensive lol. Nah, mine are ok actually, although ive only used them pretty low so the ride is pretty hard, cant complain. U lookin for sum for the bug ? let me know how u get on cus i got a bug that needs lowering aswell.

TA Technix on the passat,reeaallly bouncy and squeky up front,common problem with the Technixs for the passats sadly,smallest bump and your bouncing around

been running ta tecnics on the loop for well over a yr now with the rear adjusters removed and have had no problems with them

Ordered some JOM coilovers for my bora, £160ish.. ill let ya know how they are after winter

GOT SUPERSPORTS ON MINE,THOUGHT THEY WERE OK TILL I BEEN IN CARS WITH FK ONES.NOW I DONT LIKE THEM COZ THEYRE SOLID

I've got FK's one mine and i find them really good and a bargain buy at £185.
My rear adjusters are out so its as low as it'll go at the moment and my front has pleanty to lower more if i need the only problem then is catching the arches but their sat on the tyres near enough any and i always catch them going on my estate anyways!!! BUT Fk all the way!!!!
