rudedubber 0 Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 have any of you fitted supersport coilovers? i am looking to buy some but dont really need any adjustment apart from the height (obviously ) and i dont want to spend mega bucks so what do you guys recomend or have fitted to your cars? thanks [ Edited ] Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 IMO you get what you pay for... but Ive not heard any bad things about them.... FK also do some in the same price range as supersport... check out this months golf mag they use them in their guide to fitting coilies on a mk3 Ive got FK Konis which are excellent Link to post Share on other sites
six appeal 53 Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Justin, thinking about the FK's myself, which version did you go for in the end and how much where they from who?Think you may have to take me for a spin at the RR day to see how they compare with my Koni's ;o) Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Steve 0 Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Just have a set of Wietec lowered suspension on mine. Just low enough to stop it looking like a 4x4, but not too low to have to argue with every speedhump that we come across. It damping adjustable too.Besides guys be honest how often do you actually change the ride height in the course of a year? (he says waiting for the flames to come his way!)The Polo GTi will at some point in its life get coilies as it will only take a minimal drop because of its front spoiler.

binliner 0 Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Its just cos you can get the exact height you want with coilies, most of the suspension kits are -40mm and I wanted a bit lower... though Im gonna have to drop it as low as I can for intersSimon I got FK Konigsport, height and damping adjustable, Theyre probably not far behind your konis... whats wrong with the konis? or is it for the mk2 Link to post Share on other sites
vdubgirl 3 Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Lots of people like the FK suspension I have an Avo coilover kit fitted to mine and I find that just fine I paid £500 for it Link to post Share on other sites

six appeal 53 Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Simon I got FK Konigsport' date=' height and damping adjustable, Theyre probably not far behind your konis... whats wrong with the konis? or is it for the mk2[/quote']No they are for the VR mate, just that like you mines not low enough on the Koni's and when I had the SPAX ones on it (nice and low) the car used to hop around a lot at the front end. Very unnerving at a 100+ (on a track of course!) So weighing up how much it would be to get the FK's. I have heard they take ages to arrive also? Did you have much grief getting them and how much and where from? Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 aah with you now, I thought you had koni coilies. I got mine from Yaash motorsport... they worked out at about £530 with the vat (as part of a group buy) but yeah I did have to wait a few weeks. Some places hold them in stock though I think.
