Just a quick question what do you guys recomend as the best coilovers for the gti had my 08 tornado gti for 3 weeks and got the lowering bug already :driver: also anybody heard of jp exhausts in macclesfield, if so would you reccomend. :notworthy:
-
Eibach pro street is a very very good kit, as is the Bilstein PSS range.
-
i think you should quote your budget otherwise this thread could get out of hand very quickly :signLOL:
-
Sorry budget is around £800 for coilys and £500 for exhaust. :sad1:
-
I would definitely look at the Pro-street kit at that price (approx £750) and as for the exhaust, Milltek is superb on the MK5.
-
KW V2's are about that price if you shop around, i had them on before my clubsports and the are ace. Ride is not to firm very similar to stock feel but work far better. :happy2:
-
see id do it differently! £460 ap's or £520 witec's for coilovers. leaves enough cash for a turboback exhaust :D
-
with a turbo back system will i need extra wedge for a performance cat or does this include cat/de-cat.
-
that would be everything, downpipe/cat and catback
-
Herd that the pro streets are cr@p and you carnt go wrong with AP's, you can also get the fully adjustable ones well within your budget and probably have enough for a turbo back exhaust which does inlcude the downpipe, sport cat/decat and cat-back.
-
big differnce in gains/noise compared to cat back or not much and what sort of price we talking her guys :happy2:
-
spool would be alot quicker and would allow you to map straight to stage 2.
noise would be alot better.
blueflame...i think with forum discount comes in £800ish maybe £850
miltek just over 1k
-
Just got a set of Eibach pro street coilovers for the 30 looking at them they look a good bit of kit :happy2: Plus the shocks are made by Kw and also look the same as the kw v1 kit :smiley:
-
FK Konigsports, 630 delivered from venom, definately comfiest coilovers ive had, go savagely low and have adjustable dampning on Koni shocks!! :happy2:

aahh so much choice will have to have a shop and find some deals :signLOL:
-
Blueflame catback and decat/downpipe would be the cheapest option to getting a turbo back zorst.
www.dcperfomance.co.uk is the cheapest i think online for blueflame exhausts.
You could alternatively get some coillies and some ARB's and do the handling mods at the same time and save on fitting and alignment etc, thats if you plan on adding ARB's.
imo getting AP coillies and some ARB's would better than spending £800 on the pro-streets and would be within the budget :happy2:

I have tried AP coilovers on many cars, they cant be put in the same category as Eibach in my opinion.
For another option, look at Bilstein B12 if the height adjustment isnt too important. They use a 'proper' inverted damper with H&R springs.

You also sell both of these as well. :grin:

If I was in your shoes my first choice would be the bilstein b12s they are not coilovers just springs and dampers but feckin amazing I had them on my last gti, if it is coilovers you are defintootly wanting the kws are great and the weitecs are very good to only they use cheaper materials. I can't fault the kws on mine, very well judged ! A little to harsh on crap roads if was being picky though.
A blueflame exhaust would be my choice for the exhaust, again I had a milly on my old gti but the blueflame wins hands down on the sound stakes :party:

We also sell AP, K&N and Blueflame, but I dont reccomend them as much as other products as they simply are not as good. (awaits the blueflame brigade with flame suit at the ready)

KW or H&R mate.
