Title: Need some help choosing suspension kit?
Post by: podgemasterson on November 09, 2012, 05:38:04 pm

Hi guys,

as above im going to buy a suspension kit soon on a budget and was looking for some advice please.
The reason im not getting coilovers is the roads i drive on daily here in ireland arent the best and a bit bumpy.

I know these are at the cheap end but are any of these good at all??
Im looking to lower the car and not totally destroy the ride.

Heres some ones i was looking at:

I would go for weitec ones personally as i have heard good things about their coilovers so hopefully the suspension kits would be the same

Yes me too but heard very little about this kit. And plus its a good bit more expensive :(

But thanks for the input :)

Any other opinions? :)

How are these for a daily driver?

You have PM.

I'd go for the AP coilovers then you can set the height.

For the benefit of anyone else interested in suspension  :drinking:
