which coilovers?

[andypandypoos]

out of the following setups which have people got experience of? ignoring price differences which would people recommend and why?

H&R Monotube Coilover Suspension Kit

Eibach Pro Street S Coilover Suspension Kit

KW Variant 1 Inox-Line Coilover Suspension Kit

Bilstein B14 / PSS Coilover Suspension Kit

This is for a 2005 Cupra TDI with otherwise standard suspension apart from a Jabba RAAAARB that I do 100+ miles a day in going from Oxford to Kenilworth on mainly the A34 and the M40.

I don't find the standard setup overly harsh, crashy or uncomfortable but I do find it pitches and rolls a little too much.

Is there some other setup I should be looking at?

Loads of threads on this mate, so i'd have a quick search on the forum.

All the ones you have mentioned are very good quality and expensive kits!
I'm running Weitec Hicon GTs and they are brilliant, good ride, and do handle well!

KW would have been my choice if i had your budget.

But for cheaper options AP (what im running) and weitec seem to do a bang up job.

I'm happy with my Weitecs, more than welcome to sample them. But if you can budget for a KW then they are a good bet.

Been in 3-4 cars on H&R now. And they are incredibly comfy.

H&R or KW would be my choice but if we can be any help just give us a shout.

cheers, but you're proper miles away mate

I did try searching and the number if threads/posts about coilovers I've read is silly, but searching for h&r mostly returns hits about spacers and eibach turns up mostly springs

Howdy, the main question has to be, what's your budget and does it need to include fitting etc?

budget goes into the mid-high £800 range (plus fitting and any other bits needed) wouldn't want to get into the £900's though

 

[AndyHazza]

Well we can get you a set of KW Variant 1's at £721.77 inc VAT and delivery, and we are also giving a £50 gift voucher away with them! You could then put this towards fitting or anything else you fancied The V1's are a superb kit and ride brilliantly!

 

[DamianPM]

As mentioned the Weitecs are also a very good option, we also have a special on the KW V1 at the moment for £540.24 inc. VAT and delivery.

Probably worth mentioning that those aren't the inox line (Stainless steel) ones that i quoted on above.

 

[DamianPM]

Andrew knows that though as he's put a link from our site to the Inox Line version in his first post.

Damian @ DPM Performance

 

[AndyHazza]

Nothing wrong with confirming it for those who may not have noticed

 

[DamianPM]

Oh definitely not.

Thanks again for the order Andrew, should be with you soon.

[andypandypoos]

yeah, having had/seen bits of their kit before and heard only positives I've gone for the H&R coilovers
