Ap coilovers fitted

hello all, another update to add.
i have just had my coilovers fitted along with new top mounts power flex bushes and bearings.
i cant really comment on the ride yet as i have only done 20mins driving but what i can say its much more comfortable than i thought it would be, not far from oem. any way heres a few pics of the process.

this to be fitted






out with the old





bush is fecked


in with the new

i have tons of pics but im sure the once above tell the story, just to add the powerflex bushes are absolutely fantastic quality and fitted very well. the powerflex bushes were bought as a second set as the first set were a different make, poor quality and didnt fit properly,





alittle bit of advice, steer well clear of these orange bushes as they are crap, they cost me a week of not having the car as the old bushes were already removed. anyway on a brighter note i now have better bushes than first planned and they were pretty good value from awsome gti who got them to me asap.

heres some pics as the car stands now with the coilovers fitted, car is sitting 64cm alround.







im really pleased with my car and i like its new stance, it still needs to settle but i dont want it silly low as speed bumps are everywhere in my area.
comments welcome

Mate that looks SWEEEEEEEEEEET!!!! I love it

I can't wait to get my bushes all replaced now. I'm going for the full superpro kit. Next couple of months fingers crossed..

I cannot wait! I was told mine are shot nearly a year ago! They are all being replaced along with anything else underneath which is on it;s last legs.

Ronin what else do you advise?

I'll be running R32 FARB and Neuspeed RARB before the year is out. But I want the car to be strong underneath. Full superpro kit is 1st, but what else can I get done? Sorry to put these questions on your thread sammy boy.

Your car is mint & those coil overs look great. What where you running before, stock shocks with lowering springs?

hi nath, yeah i like the stance, need some rear spacers for the wheels now. the ride feels just as grippy with the springs but with more comfort and sharpness, only done 20 mins driving so cant really give the coilovers a big review but from what i have felt the are amazing

 

[Deleted member 58019]

Glad your pleased with them mate, I'm about and inch away from adding coilies to my list!
