Calling all owners with Coilovers

Featured Replies

Mornin' all :)

I'm hoping to change my existing Koni FSD and Eibach suspension setup for either AP or Weitec coilvers in the not-too-distant future. I've basically gone past the point of no return with the car now and it deserves to have a more flattering ride height, but as it will still be my daily driver I need to know if either of these systems will be compliant and comfy enough (the AP blurb says it will). Therefore, I was wondering, would some kind soul with Weitec GT's or AP coilovers be willing to give me a spin in their car, even just as a passenger? I'm based in Glasgow at the moment so anywhere in central Scotland would be ideal. However, I may be driving to Leicestershire weekend after next, so if anyone in that area is also feeling generous... :D

Many thanks,

Andrew

I'm interested... :thumbup: Finding the cash for V1's may cripple me but I'll take a look anyway. I'll keep you in mind, thanks :)

Excellent, thanks mate, I'll take you up on that! B) Could you PM me your contact details and/or a time and place that suits you?

Now, anybody with Weitecs to complete the set? :D

What sort of mileage are on the FSD's?

Approximately 12,000, still performing perfectly! But to let you know, my car's a PD100, not a vRS :thumbup:

If memory serves me, A damper's a damper! Its the springs that differ!

May still be interested! At the right price!emoticon-0148-yes.gif

you could have jumped on board and tried my weitec's if you were anything less than several hundred miles away....emoticon-0149-no.gif

I shall let you know :) What constitutes the right price for you then? Haven't really put much thought into valuing them yet.

True, just as well I'm not home in Stornoway, then it'd be even further! :rofl: Thanks though.

Seeing as it's Mr B...i'd say £150 all in sounds good ;)

Just another point of view, you can get lower springs to use with the FSD's - I do. It's never going to have the same verstility and it won't be setup as a particular manufacturer intended, but you can get a set of lowering springs for a lot less. Mine sits rather nice on spax springs and Koni FSD's - can rummage up a side shot if you wish?

Thanks, that's interesting, but my AP's should be here any day now :giggle: I thought it wasn't recommended to have partitcularly low springs with the FSD's?

Ahem...I must have missed that one lol.... :giggle: but mine are perfectly fine.

Get some photos up before and after, bet its a pretty big difference after eibach springs to AP's
