matth76 1 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 HiAs title says, does anyone have a KW (non-coilover) suspension kit on their golf vr6. Reviews and comments welcome How is the quality, ride / handling/ control in tight corners at speed?They use twin tube gas shocks/dampers which seem good, and should be more durable than oil based dampers... is this true?Are KW a good quality make, on a similar par with Koni and H&R etc?CheersMatt Link to post Share on other sites
stockers 1 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 for the love of GOD please buy a suspension kit NOW enough debating !dodge !amazed Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Yeah I just had a look down the forum page and it does seem I've posted a fair number of posts about suspension! A bit too much research into the matter probably lol I think I'm on my way to getting one soon though. I've read, searched and really looked into all the options for what I want and the KW kit seems very good quality and one of the best around along with Koni, H&R and the likes.. and uses gas shocks which is a bonus.

stuey 0 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Everyone's preference is different on things like this, someones smooth ride is anothers stiff etc. You will always be taking a small risk, good luck with what you choose Link to post Share on other sites
Matt W 4 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I think there are probably four main brands for suspension here in Germany,KWH&REibachKoniI think with any one of them you can't really go wrong! To some degree there is FK but for some reason they are looked upon as a poor mans alterntive as generally the quality of the FK stuff is not so good! I think with the above ones mentioned you can't really go wrong! Regards,Matt Link to post Share on other sites

matth76 1 Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Thanks for your replies guys. I heard Sachs don't make their dampers or suspension kits anymore... weren't they taken over by another company?Looks like I'll be going for the KW -40mm Cup Kit or the H&R -60/-40mm Cup Kit. Decisions decisions! I'm erring for the KW because it has less of a drop although I've seen pics of cars in the vwvortex forum with people who have the H&R 60/40 drop and it looks perfect... but I'd be worried about speed bumps and oil pan scrapes with a drop of 60mm at the front.I'll let you know how I get on!
