Clairey Fairy Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) I baught springs for mine, but then sold them without even bothering to fix them. They were pointless IMO considering you can get coilovers which are a million times better and in some cases even cheaper than a decent set of springs.Siimo has springs on his gti once, pm him if you want snaps (Handling was still jelly-fied though, he nearly put me through the passenger door going round a roundabout once... )He's seen the error of his ways and got coils now too Edited April 24, 2009 by Clairey Fairy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoggy Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Why not get coilies?Just wondering if it would be worth saving the money as Apex ones are up for £75 with a 40mm drop. Mind you, once lowered more than 60mm the handling goes then doesnt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clairey Fairy Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) Trust us, it really isnt worth buying springs. You'll just end up being dissapointed and wanting to stab someone in the face.Go see phillJ over on Club Olop, he sells perfectly accpetable coilovers really cheap Edited April 24, 2009 by Clairey Fairy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mukilupo Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Mine are on 40mm Apex springs, looking at coilovers as mentioned above dont want change twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
