T3LLIOTT Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Why buy 2nd hand cheap coilovers when there like £160 brand new? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) maybe because once you open your box of £160 coilovers they are then worth £120, and should you decide to fit them, drive on the road for a couple of weeks and hate them they are worth £80.i know which i'd rather buy. i've got some £550 koni shocks on my TDI, i didnt pay for them they came free on it when i bought the car for £250.

LOLYeah...... or you buy a second hand set of coilovers for £80 and then 2 weeks later they start pissing oil and then they are worth £0.Consider the risk when buying second hand suspension unless you're getting it ridiculously cheap.

Sausage Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) True but that is a pessimists view. Plus they would never be worth £0.Fit them yourself = no warranty LOLhttp://www.clubpolo.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=322084Actually thats pathetic as is the fact you need the receipt and still live at the same address when bought and have to return them in original packaging etc etc etc. Basically they have a very very limited warranty indeed.You'd probably have to get a garage to remove them too .... Brownbehr, I've seen em on ebay now and again, just keep looking and they will turn up. Edited September 11, 2015 by Sausage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I might have some, taking off the fk ones that came with my car at the end of the month. Not sure on the condition of them at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_andrew Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I can remember when I posted on here asking for second hand coilovers, everyone p*ssed and moaned that they'd go pop in 2 weeks, I've been driving on my joms since April and they've been no problem whatsoever, still adjust fine and don't leak at all.£100 well spent I think, Just goes to show when you stop being a keyboard warrior, get out there and do it for yourself you'll do alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
