I could get a bracket no problem and at next to nothing, just need to work out expenses and then sort it
ye mate coilovers is a defenate, more expensive, but like they say u get wot u pay for, unless you wanna go all out and get air ride suspension lol. not actually got mt lcr lowerd, how much is an ok drop without the arches scraping wen people in the back??
Where's the lecture is saying buy something decent like Weitec.
If you don't want to share thoughts / advice, why post on a forum?
No probs at all mate, we can all have days like that.
it's easy to roll out that thread as it throws plenty of curveball thoughts into the mix for consideration. The way it's written can sound a bit lecturing, but at the time I wrote it, it felt like there was a thread being written every 2 seconds about how cheaply people could slam their motors on the deck, with no consideration of their own safety.
All I want is you to make the safest and most dependable choice, and the Weitecs for a little more money are an immense product and should cause you a lot less grief as they've been around for a good while (I had my first set in 1997), so you know they aren't going to have gone bust by the time you need a potential warranty claim.
Best of luck making your mind up, there is lot of choice out there, but do speak to Damian at DPM, or one of the other forum sponsors as there are good deals to be had.

Will golf mk 4 coilies fit? A mate is selling some, spax RSX, afterall there the same platform arent they has the arb mount too on the strut.
same fitment, check spring rates though, is it from a gti? if it has arb mounts its likely to be a 4motion or v5 maybe?
1.8T his gti 180 i think? can only try them and if they fit then pay him, backs are same i know that its the fronts that i want to be sure about.
just the arb mountings on the fronts that are different. rest are the same.
spax are harsh on the road though

Hmm, i jsut got your pm James, if i decide against the coilovers i been offerd i may take your offer, how diffrent is the arb mounting? Also wheres best for shortned drop links.
Yeah i dont mind a bit of fabrication here and there, just wondering how diffrent it was. Will have to borrow a strut and remove mine to have a look whats what.
strut is totally the same, just has a bracket mounted to the side, as per your oem ones to allow the arb to attatch via droplinks.. the cupra doesnt as the arb attatches to the wishbone not the strut, but id=f you can fabricate then youd have top quality suspension at a cheap price
