We looked into Eibachs but they have since discontinued the coilover set up that most people were recommending. Next on the list were Weitecs but on investigation these turned out to be FK coilovers in a more expensive box and there were a few people on the forums who had ended up with issues with their Weitecs on the rear of the vRS arches.
So the search moved across the pond - what are the Europeans and the Yanks running that they rate so highly. The answer was V-MAXX coilovers. V-Maxx has long been supplying ultra high performance suspensions to many European tuning firms under the tuner brand names.
Some highlights of the V-Maxx Coilover suspension kit are :- Fully adjustable ride height.
- Full 2-year manufacturers warranty back by V-Maxx and Stratmosphere solid support.
TUV tested and approved products. - Kits that are balanced between sports car requirements and daily driver needs.
- Custom struts matched to springs and ready for full height ranges.
- Sway bar extension kits available for those lowering over 40mm.
With an already solid reputation in place for Audi and VW they have begun to branch out into other marques and now offer a set up for the vRS. These kits have been offered by AMD and Big Boys Toys previously and more and more online retailers are now stocking them.A quick conversation with Midland VW confirmed that the reason for the reasonable price on these is that they produce so many sets that the cost can be kept low - the quality and ride is as good as some H&R set ups and from speaking to various people on US and UK forums who run these on MK4 Golfs, Lupo GTI's and Polo GTI's not many have a bad word to say about them.
The set up is now on order with the additional bolts to drop the car below 40mm and it will all be fitted ready for Ultimate Dubs in March.
