Suspension Time..Any Suggestions..

[P-DIddy]

Well after achieving 148,000 miles (going through an engine, clutch, gearbox and two kkk turbos an two rad's) on the stock suspension my TDI Sport has started to grumble alot with every pebble it passes,

Time to upgrade...

I'm not bothered about drastic lowering, but want a bit more responsive drive that is not too bumpy,

have looked myself but there are so many options...looking to spend around £450...

struts and springs or coliovers (if there not too firm)

cheers,

I don't know what to recommend in terms of ride quality, as my Fk's are hard as nails. I feel every bump in the road.

However, I would strongly recommend that whatever you end up buying is Stainless. Non-stainless suspension really suffers from salt etc in the winter.

i can confirm richs ride is hard! it hurt my arse last time i went in his car going over a speed bump

I'd also be quite interested in a "firm" but not harsh coilover/spring&shock set-up - I commute (and car-share) so can't really have it hurting lol!

We have the Weitec Hicon GT coilovers down to £390.39 inc. VAT and delivery at the moment, great choice...

with regards to coilovers, how easy are they to fit, i have done springs/struts before but never coilovers?? anyone done a guide before???

Pretty much exactly the same to be honest.

yep the saem you just have to set the ride height and then have the alignment done
