Ramsay92 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Hey I know this probably been asked before but if I'm only wanting to go a bit lower still keep a good ride am I better swapping to gti suspension all round, getting lowering springs or just go for coilovers Any opinions would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 GTI set up will only see you about 10mm lower than standard.Lowering springs are generally about -35\40mm. Not sure if you can still get -45\60mm.Coilovers are where it's at if you want to be low.Fit coilovers; fit wheels, adjust coilovers 'til your happy.

Deadmetal Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Decnt coilovers are yout best bet.Yes they cost more but, you'll be getting a much better ride and a longer life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay92 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Not to fussed about going reali low but I'm planning on going to 15s from my standard 14s main thing I want rid of is the gap or at least a good bit of it between the wheels and the arches been told I can get the full gti suspension for 500quid genuine and brand new and seen I can get spax coilovers for 580 so not much of a difference might go for the coilovers cause ill be able to go lower if I want to later cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damian@DPM Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Something like the AP kit is a good choice and excellent value for money, also made by KW - http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/ap-coilover-suspension-kitbr-lupo-10-14-14tdi-17sdi-1098-p-5089.htmlDamian @ DPM Performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay92 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Are the ap set any good cause there a not bad price and cheaper than full gti suspension and spax coilovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
