Which Coilovers?

Vmaxx are utter rubbish I'm afraid, great to sell as they are stacked with profit but as for quality there isn't much lower. Basically rebranded stuff that you see for £179 on eBay. We refuse to fit them let alone sell them.

Well I'll try and find a few more reviews what would u recommend for around £600

I've got Weitec Hicon GTs and I'm very happy with them. I asked vRSAlex if he recommended I change them and he said there's no point i.e. I won't see much in the way of extra performance for the additional outlay.

I took that to mean that they're a good balance between price and performance. The ride comfort is even better than my standard Audi S-Line suspension (tho that's similar to saying Mother Teresa was a better person than Hitler - it was never really much of a contest to begin with).

Just sent you a PM but for the benefit of the forum, I'd recommend these

Adjustable damping is only necessary for people who frequently go on track. For fast road use any of the AP, Weitec, KW or Bilstein kits are what I'd go for.

Bilstein B12, although not coilovers will be far better than any sub £1k coil over kit. I use them on all of my own cars and have driven most kits for the mk5 chassis and these feel best.
