do adjustable coilovers, they are worth the money. I've tried from lowered springs, shocks and springs combo, and then finally settled on coilovers.

coilovers are defs the way to go.
i wont ever get anything else when doing sussy.

So which coilovers do you guys recommend? Because yeah like i said atm ive only got King Springs and i dont know enough yet to know if there's a major difference and whatever lol im still learning, but i appreciate all the useful advice/knowledge you guys are sharing

I used to use BuddyClub N+ Spec. and very happy with them. adjustable dampers as well, the most important thing next to height adjustable

Hmm ill have to look into it when i get a better job lol. K noob question (luckily this thread got moved into the right place :P) but what are dampers?

**kraiye** · 27-03-2009 10:21 AM

basically the shock absorber part of the coilover - i'm sure someone will elaborate further

i went from king springs with stock shocks to kings + kyb agx shocks and thought that was great... then got coilovers and realised how naive i used to be!!

Ahhh right yeah ive only got King springs and stock shocks so i might look into that then. Lol looks like im going to need a fair bit of money for this operation hahaha

coilovers you looking at roughly $1100 to 1600 depends what you wana get
ive got HSD coilovers in my ek4 with adjustable height and dampening
theyre on the softest setting atm because the hardest setting they barely move lol

theyre awesome and give no roll. so if you keen to join the GO.KARTS
coilovers are the way to go

, its also low enough for
you to open your door and put your drink on the ground outside the car
and not have to stretch to reach it

adjustable dampers mean that u can adjust the stiffness of your ride (soft on street and stiff on track for example)

Does replacing the camshafts in your engine require a mod plate or anything? And replacing the valvesprings and gaskets? Because there's a buddyclub special engine package for 1600 apparently and i wouldnt mind looking into it, but if it requires a mod plate then i cant, being on my Ps and all
