lowering my golf around 50mm

whats the best kit for lowering my golf around 50mm just springs or springs and shocks and whats the best kit for around 200 quid ???

you could prob get a set of coilovers off ebay for that money.....i know a lot of us have

cool cos i kno for about 230 i can get a g max kit which is springs and dampers
is it sometimes better buying second hand then cos i know that the springs need to set so to speak when you fit a new kit

yeah they do need to settle...i think my newest set are about settled now after a couple of months... depends how much you gonna pay for a second hand set. coilovers can seize if there not looked after cuz they go rusty and the threads get knackered

set of cheap and cheerful coilovers for a mk4

that aint bad may have to keep my eye out for some more cos them ones have ended,, so coil overs buy new if i can??

id say buy new. just so ya know they're not bent or anythin.
plus if coilies arent looked after (not like mine of course ) they can sieze up so you cant adjust them.

o kool kool also if i sit it to low i can raise it as well rather than buyin a new kit init

there are loads of similar items cuz they put loads up at the sametime/evryday

my mate ordered his on sunday night bout 10pm and they were at his door wednesday morning

kool and na your right no such thing as to low its the dub way init

what are the janspeed coilovers like or has no one tried them yet??

with it only being a 1.4 golf would i be able to get away with a set of springs keeping my standard dampers????

generally tougher springs on standard shocks will do the shocks in 6months ish your best to get a spring and shock kit or coilovers, obviously the more power your car has the better kit to get etc,
im running on hottuning coilovers and have no problems at all and also ordered them tuesday night at around 11.30pm and had them 7.30am thursday morning!!
also i am told that janspeed coilovers and other brands are all made in the same factory just branded differently?

if your after cheap coilovers i use the ones from a guy on the polo forum called phil jackson had a set on my lupo and now mk2 golf really good for the money around the £200 mark worth a try see if he does a set for the mk4


ps be carefull you dont start getting problem with the anti roll bar they start hitting when you get lower on the mk4

if i get problems with the anti roll bar ill just get brave and take it off lol i've seen a set of hottuning ones on ebay for a decent price might just get them
