what are some good coils for a mark3?
ive had ak's, they are alright. bouncy and rough though... kind of wanting something else
does anyone know if any of the fk suspension is good? ie. some dampening, or better springs like maybe go with some silver lines or something
i would love some h&r ultra lows, but a little out of my budget unless i could miraculously find a used set..
also i've had vmaxx which were the shits...
what are people running? what rides well and performs well? |

fk highsports are okay. holly has them on her jetta.
i had the green weitecs on my old mk2. they were a bit bouncy but not bad at all.

what about a cup kit?
i can still go low without all the bounce.
my main concern is backspacing because im running 9's all around with plus 15 offset which gives me approx. 5.35 inches of backspace.
do coils provide more backspace over cup kits or vice versa?
if i go with coils im gonna have to run spacers and downsize my tires. mad stretch  |
