Coilovers - Group buy?

[evorobin]

Well to cut a long one short I've sorted out a price for FK Highsport that includes shipping/duty etc for golf 1/2 at $1100. Yes you can buy em off e-bay slightly cheaper but I'd prefer to go through a UK supplier that speaks English tbh.

Coilovers ain't cheap so any feedback on the subject or useful info of suppliers etc would be good. You got some? how much did they cost? etc

Seems cheap.
Does that include freight and import duty.
Most retail in Oz over 2gs.
There must be a catch?????? :? :?

[evorobin]

That includes freight. These sell for under a grand in the UK and if we can buy five I can get the price down to include shipping and duty for 1100. I need four others though!

[Golfwise]

Golfman you need to invest in the odd VW Golf mag.
Lots to learn, but good. :lol:

[GoLfMan]

[Golfwise]

Thats a good price but don't get caught with unseen extras.
Still seems too good.Import duty then has GST added ? :) :) :)

Coilovers allow you the ability to adjust the ride height of your suspension anywhere up to about a 4” drop essentially without compromising your ride which is the problem when you start chopping springs. The height is adjusted through the use of a threaded sleeve. They are really the only way to achieve the ‘look’ whilst maintaining ride quality! More expensive coilovers also allow you to adjust the damper setting. Although expensive, I believe they are the only way to go! :)
