Typical VW bummer. Just do what all your friends do and remove the springs all together and run on the bump stops. No doubt it will handle exactly how you think a car should handle "bouncing round like a go cart/nodding dog" :D

Christ what is wrong with you people :mad:

I've said this on previous threads, but anyone who thinks cheap coilovers are going to ride well are deluded. Those who say they actually do ride well are talking bollox or know no difference!! Bouncing down the road like Ace Ventura does not = ride well....

They shag your car and cost the same in the end as decent coilovers because of all the replacement parts needed regularly!

Same goes with running 18" rimzzz and saying the ride is good on rubber band tyres skipping all over the road :roll:

Do it properly and do it once :)
