Kam Racing Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 vmax are the same as the ta ones.. pretty much all the budget ones are made in the same factory in the netherlands and then sent out the door with a different branded sticker..

Kam Racing Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) different brands put different markups for when they set there RRP. They may not necessarily get them in at the same price due to volumes etc. trade discounts they offer retailers can also vary restricting how much a retail outlet can supply to a customer at.

They're £40 more than joms, are they worth that extra £40? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadmetal Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 They all go pretty low.If you want silly lows, you're gonna need custom springs and/or air bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahre Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Has anyone here had any experiences with Spax RSX? I'm looking for some coilovers with good adjustability for track use. I would like to go with KW but they don't offer V3 for GTI Spax seems to have the adjustability that I'm looking for. I just don't know how are they against corrosion and how is the quality? Also are there camber plates available for GTI? I have seen some been installed here but they all seem to require a lot of modifications to the top mount.

Trx 33 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) 6 Months after fitting AP's. Cant tighten or un-tighten as the hex has corroded so badly it has sheared as soon as i turned it. Very disappointed how they've rusted in this short time, warranty dosent cover rusting either. Other than that, fantastic ride quality, would buy again if they sort out the rusting.

DyDy Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) hello..Dont´t you have a problem with "stabilizer" (I don´t know, how its right in english; torsion rod to chassis)? I have only lower springs with sh.-absorber, probably -80mm (maybe more) and now I cannot go lower, because the "stabilizer" now is cca 5mm from chassis/cabin.How can you go lower without cutting to chassis?? Now it´s my lowering:https://fbcdn-sphoto...095496634_n.jpg Edited July 2, 2013 by DyDy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 ^That's your lowering on springs only? What springs do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spy Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I know everyone here says that KW V1 are the best but how do they compare to the AP (in terms of ride, handling and comfort) which are also highly rated ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keelan Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Is there a kit that do coilovers for the rear. Although I've heard you can pop the top mounts on them with coiloversIf not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joenoone96 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Are JOM coilover any good? Anyone used them? Got a £200 budget or can anyone recogmend better ones in this price range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoxmeister Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) I've been looking at the FK silverlines and have heard that the rear springs on the silverlines allow you to get the rear of the lupo much lower than other set ups without taking the adjusters outDoes anyone here run silverlines or anybody know if this is the case?

Silver! Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I know everyone here says that KW V1 are the best but how do they compare to the AP (in terms of ride, handling and comfort) which are also highly rated ?You would have to find someone who has run both to compare. My GTI has had KW V1s on my GTI since nearly new and they are still comfy and performing well. Coating has now come off the springs though @ 56,000 miles.Are JOM coilover any good? Anyone used them? Got a £200 budget or can anyone recogmend better ones in this price range?If you are going cheap; most of the cheap brands are actually the same hardware, but labelled differently, so you may as well go for the cheapest. Don't expect top notch performance\handling though.JOM @ £178.99: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Lupo-1-0-1-4-16V-1-6GTi-1-4TDi-1-7SDi-99-JOM-Coilovers-Kit-741071-/330856805340?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4d089a33dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
