very well done video and explanation. great job guys, thank you

Yaaaaa that walmart Black Jack is legit! Had mine for like 10 years and its still going strong!

THANKS FOR THE HELP my coils are on gon see how they ride

Dont the sway bars hit the axles when you go low on these things?

Can you tell where did you get those white rings in your headligts? I have them but they are kind of yellowish

For the top bushing on the front, Can it just sit on the tophat? the old coilovers i am removing have a tophat then a plate for the top bushing to sit on, aswell as a rubber piece under the nut. The solo werks dont seem like i can put the small bushing on the shaft even though thats how its shown on the instructions. Any suggestions?

Nice job 👍

Excelent!

How did you guys intall the passenger side coilover? Did you have to remove the axle bolts? I'm researching how to take the old shock off without undoing the axle.

Lil skies, I fw it. But thanks for the help. 01 MK4 Jetta Wolfsburg edition going on coils this weekend

Nice 👍

Pro-tip, the ECS branded coilovers are Solowerks F1. Their Customer Service offered me a price match on them when they were out of stock of theirs. Good video! How's the ride quality after almost 6months?

Well TBH, solo werks arent that stiff and are pretty soft. So when Alex got new wheels with 245s, he rubbed a lot due to the coils not being stiff. The ride quality is still good though.

How many inches is this dropped?

If In doubt use an adjustable spanner

Interested in your opinion: my '04 MKIV GTI VR6 needs a suspension refresh. This video helped me get familiar with the job. I'll install Bilstein B4 dampers (heavy duty) for a better than OEM quality replacement damper while maintaining similar ride characteristics designed into OEM. I did not find aftermarket springs that would be a suitable substitute for maintaining OEM springs ride characteristics. What's your opinion on reinstalling the same springs with the new dampers? Is it okay? If not, why might it be a bad idea?

Just put the 337/20ae billstein coils on the rear, i believe it’s a .5 drop from stock

No camber in the front? I run the same suspension but not nearly lowered as yours and I have positive camber in the passenger side. I wonder what I could adjust to fix that. I was hoping to be able to do something before having to put in camber plates.

Ay man, just found the channel and I’m loving it. Quick questions hope you have time to answer, but what coil-overs would you recommend? Also was it a bitch to install the catless down pipe? Worth it or is a muffler delete enough to get that growl? I’m currently looking to build my mk4 golf and looking for inspiration and asking those who’ve done it for advice

how are the dampers? Cause im going to slam it on this but scared that the dampers are way to soft to run static with these?

Do not buy these. Ive been running them for 2 years on my mk4 gti. Only like 1K miles on them (Don't drive it much) and they are already horrible. Extremely bouncy drive. Not enjoyable. Spend the money and buy a set of BCs or something similar.

How are the coilovers now? They still mint? Im currently in the process of putting fks in mine, Finished the rear but doing the fronts, Gotta wait for the new bushings

Brendan Carreiro they ride really nice but I must say there sure aren’t for my build. I wanted stiff coils for corners and these aren’t it if you put bigger wheels on. I have massive wheels on (18x8.75 w/245s) so I rub quite a bit and I’m not that low. When I was on my 17” rims (in the video) they were just fine, I could fly around corners and have a good ride all in one. But yes there still holding up as far as the shocks and springs, no rust, etc.

Nice! I have been looking for some to give my GTI a little lower ride! Might end up just going with some Bilstein Touring and Eibach Pro kit springs.

whats wheels

My struts are taking a brick to put in. They aren’t fitting into the bottom bracket

@JacobSchiavon

4 жыл бұрын

When i was putting mine in i found this same problem. What i did is take a file to the inside of the bracket and smooth it out as there’s rough edges and smooth down the bottom metal bushing on the strut with a angle grinder, taking on a fraction of a millimeter just so it would fit. Start with the file, make everything smooth and level and then use the angle grinder if needed.

I have these on my car, took the front helper spring out and got it at a decent height, the rear is a monster truck and It might go an inch without the rear perches. But will it ride shitty? I'm on 17s tho
