Probably been many threads on this but i was wondering what peoples thoughts are.
Currently got G-MAXX coilovers and find them soo bouncy
Mr ashcroft has fk and they seem alot stiffer and can go as low as you want
Mr endi has spaxx damper adjustable but only lower 60mm or so
I want something that can go low but be damper adjustable iv had a look around and cant find anything there is a set of drift ones they sell in america but dont tell you the height adjustments
Whats people running low with wheels tight to the arch that dont bounce around as mine are shocking haha
Cheers

Re: Coilover choices
Drift coilovers for a Polo? Epic.
I think Weitech did some damping adjustable ones when I was looking last. Or SPAX, or KW, or AVO. I was swaying towards AVO myself.

Re: Coilover choices
I had Weitec ones on my old Mk 2 Golf GTI 16V and was very pleased with them. The car had Supersports when I bought it and the Weitecs were far better, easy to adjust and had no problems in the 4 years I had them.
Re: Coilover choices
i've got fk's and its on its ring - handles well still and the ride isnt ALL that bad either.
Re: Coilover choices
I had weitecs but without damper adjusment on my polo and they were great, Weren't bouncy and were great at hugging the road.
Weitecs do a damper adjusble set, So do AP And KW. They are all pretty similar though from what I understand.

Re: Coilover choices
Whichever set you go for just ensure they have stainless threads because otherwise you stand a good chance that they will seize/corrode.
Keep the threads well greased and stick some tape on the exposed threads to stop dirt/grime covering them and they will last for years.
I had a set of Spax adjustables on my GTI like Matt and they were really decent
