    MK1 golf coilovers

    As the title mentions, wanting to buy MK1 golf coilovers! As long as they're a semi-decent brand, and are in good working order (no leaks, etc) i'm all good with it! Don't want to pay much, $400 is probably tops i'd go!

    If you have something, let me know!

    $400 should get you some Hottuning or JOM ones off ebay,

    Dont expect too much though, you get what you pay for

    You can get $400 coil overs or you can get semi-decent coil overs, Drew. Not both unfortunately, mate.

    Spend $900ish and save upgrading later.

    So what would you recommend for an option under 1k?

    Have a look around. Few people with ST's (me), few people with FK's, KW's... all the same stuff rebranded and a hell of a lot better than the junk you can get for cheap.

    weitec, FK, KW all lob in at under $1k depending on what variant you go for.

    FK streetlines are under $600 if you deal directly with England

    I would go Weitec Hicon GT. I can't do Weitecs for that cheap. If you grey import you can... But don't come crying to me if you have any problems with them.


    I supplied them to Dom and Mikinoz. They both really like them. I also run them in my GLD. No complaints here.
