Mine but it's more of a barn....

Mate if you were any closer i would not even think twice about letting you work on it. At least the guys on here are more knowledgable than mechanics. Im soo pissed really wanted to go out and test it. Just hope i get it back prob free tomorrow or oh hells guna break loose!!

Who did them MasterKM?

VW Rescue did my polo some years back and were done speedy! for £110

 

[Masterkm]

Some local garage, should have chosen a more well known one. Im stuck at work atm till 2pm so wont get to the garage till after that. Will update tonight on how they are. Hope they have done it right too.

Will use these guys for any repairs after, cost aint an issue anymore.

We still have not meet yet, I see you driving round Halesowen every so often. Maybe after the new year we can meet and kick some tyres.

I think I have only seen you once or twice, definately in the new year we should if my car is up to scratch that is lol

Just rang the garage and he said its done and just needs to adjust ride height when I go there at half2. Hoping for a good road test later on

 

[Masterkm]

Finally got my car back about 3:30pm, will never be using them again due to the hassles they gave me.

It is bumpy now but sitting quite low on the rear took it for a long drive to make sure no knocking noise or squeaks. Sounds perfect. May lower the front a little more though later on. Pulls a little to the left now instead of the right before so hopefully wheel alignment should fix that during the week.

A-Line here I come lol

Btw how are the rear coilover springs fixed in, are they placed into where the old spring goes or are they bolted too as the mechanic said there was no hole to put the bolt in????

 

[Masterkm]

Long awaited pics after a good clean lol

So I got round to cleaning the car today and to check any damage by the garage but all looks ok

I have uploaded a before pic too so the difference can be seen Have heard the one off clunk type of noise from rear but duno what it could have been When moving away from my house I think my rear mudflap catches on the kerb as I go off it so maybe a lil too low but hey who cares hahahaha

Before

After

So what are peoples opinions and for £230 really I couldnt complain

 

[greyfloppyhat]

STANCED!! just needs a few threads down at the front IMO but what a transformation especially looking back at how it was the day you got it

 

[Masterkm]

That was my thought on the front too. Will do that later on. Just had the car aligned for £15

Personally the issue after the kerb hit i think was due to the top suspension mount and nothing else so was a bit of a waste doing the other parts, a big expense it was too

 

[AdamRoutley]

Who did the alignment MasterKM?

 

[Masterkm]

The guys at A Line in Dudley. The rears were already perfect so was just the toe that needed doin on the front. The camber is 2/10ths of a mm out from each other so he goes I would be fine, so i have a lil bit of negative camber on my fronts

 

[AdamRoutley]

Little bit is fine on the fronts, will assist when going lower to prevent fouling on the arches/liner!

How much left do you have on the threads to go lower? Looking at getting these myself! will be good to keep an eye on this thread to see how good they are for the price. I cannot justify spending loads on coil-overs when I won't be tracking and only need them for adjustable stance

Looking good dude!

 

[Masterkm]

Thanks

Tbh I dont know how much is left but I had the rears raised a little due to them being way too low, from floor to top of wheel arch, the car is equal all round. I am sure the car can be lowered alot more and slammed to the floor but wont be doing that lol

For the price even at 50% off I would recommend. takes a week for delivery from them just to let you know

I will update maybe in a months time or so to see how they have settled, but atm feels kind of good

 

[surajb1]

Whats the ride like? How comfortable is it compared to standard ?

[Masterkm]

The ride is better I would say, comfortable?? I would say not as much due to feeling every bump in the road now lol

Its a bit bumpy on the road, would need a few weeks on it to see how well it handles, has improved though
