Phatbwoy Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 So, is it agreed that the best budget coilover kit that will slam my car while providing acceptable levels of quality, ride comfort and handling is AP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo-Joe Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Depends whether you call £400 is budget, if so yeah there good for your money and as you'll see alot of people rate them highly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadmetal Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Go for KWs.As long as you keep them clean any set of coilovers should last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yassa Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 cant believe no one has mentioned meisterr coilovers, i have them on my lupo and they will go lower than just about any other coilover as far as i can see as i could adjust mine until the car sits on the floor, they are comfortable even at silly low ride heights, very very well made and require much less attention than the cheap **** coilovers, would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

vwbandit Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Go for KWs.As long as you keep them clean any set of coilovers should last.Thanks for the advice But what ones are less likely to corrode ?As I hear that kw basics are galvanised steel And ap are zinc coated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex-Bone94 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'm buying kw v1 innox coilovers next week but there coming of a gti lupo, will they fit my 1.4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwbandit Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 they wont fit a 1.4 sadly. i had the same question but the other way round. as the lupo gti has diffrent bolt holes on the front so they wont line up with your holes . so unless you fork out to have them modified they wont work.

a sigfrids Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Anyone ever heard of BC coilovers before? V1's. And know if they are any good?Cheers, sam.I've got the BC V1's going on my GTI Lupo, but I'm not driving it until the snow's gone here in Finland.The Lupos getting alla Powerflexes in the chassis too, so hard to say 'bout the comfort, as I'm gong for more of a track day car.But I'll post some info when I get to drive the car.The reason I went for the BC's is that they're height adjustable without, at the same time, adjusting the stiffness.

REDLooP Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Lupo GTI coilovers do fit on normal lupo's, their is no difference in the struts. I've had gti versions of fk highsports and kw v1's on my 1.0 with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenlupo Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Right peeps, i have Weitec Hicon GT, on my arosa, and also 8.5/9 wide 13" on 165/65 i think without looking as im writing this in bed lol. "Q" so i fitted them with the rear cups in and theres a lot of arch room. Will if i remove them will this screw my rear shocks? And will it be that much of a differance. Dont want it scraping just a smaller arch gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 First of all...you have 9's on the back? And secondly you have 165/65?! Sure you've got those numbers right lol?But yeah, if you take the adjusters out you'll prob see a drop of 20mm or so and yeah, the chances are you'll blow shocks sooner than you would if you had left them in.

allenlupo Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Yeah 9" on the back, nope i was wrong it 165/55/13, hmm i don't want to blow them, but having 13s its to high i feel ill wack a picture up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
