which coilovers

[zach225]

evening folks,

i know this has been done to death and searching does bring up a lot of info but i'm looking for some more specific advise/reviews

i want to buy some coilovers at the end of the month for my 52 plate tdi 130,

i only really want to spend a maximum of £300 ish really,

i dont want it slammed on its arse, just lower which i know isnt an issue,

my main reason for this post is that i want a good ride comfort, i had an a3 slammed on raceland/hottuning coilovers and the previous owner hadnt cut down bump stops and the entire ride was bangy, crashy and just generally solid,

any advice will be listen to

If you don't want to slam it and want to retain the ride comfort, a springs and shocks kit may be a better option as all coilovers will generally be harsher.

AP do a 40mm/30mm kit well within your budget:

If you did really want coilovers though you may struggle to find something of good quality under £300 for the Ibiza 6L.

damian, how do the ap 30-40mm drop kits comapre top the supersport 50mm drop?

 

[DamianPM]

The quality on the AP is definately better and worth the extra money in my opinion.

Why do the spring/shock sets lower more at the front than the back? The Ibiza already sits too high at the back?

 

[DamianPM]

That's just the drop that AP offer, others are available though.

30mm might not be enough...it might be better for the price to get coilovers..where as the 50mm of the supersport would be ample for me.

I know some people dont like them but can people who have vmaxx suspension please post on your ride quality
