Coilover and Brakes

[Jollus]

Hey guys,

Ive got 17" Audi RS8 replica wheels on my Polo and was thinking of lowering it down as the car stands tall! Whats a good set of coilovers that I could get that wont be too expensive. I'm looking to keep spending low.

Also my brake pad warning lights have come on but its only the front brakes. Do you think it will matter if I change the front brakes and leave the rear ones? The rear ones have months left in them by looks of it?

Thanks

As long as you change both sides at once, you can do the front and rear completely seperately.

As for coilies, depends how much you want to spend:

Budgets - £200-250 - Vmaxx, FK budget, etc
Good but still budgets - £400-£550 - AP, Fk sportlines, etc.
Proper good - £750-£1500 - KW v3, eibach etc.

I have APs and a mate with fk budget, both do the job but aps outproform the fk's but they are double the money.

Hope this helps.

Just ordered some KW V1s as I have heard a lot of good reviews about them. FK Highsports are also good for a mid budget.

Just to let you know when my warning light for the brake pads came on, I changed them the same week and there was still a lot left on them, so no rush to do them. Your back ones will probably be fine for a few more thousand miles
