Re: twopointslow

Danny is right. Especially an auto tragic. My girlfriend and I just picked up a Mk3 2.0L Cabrio for her and the plan is to cam it and exhaust it and tune it etc.. Because this is a car she will most likely be keeping for years and years and we will be repainting it and it is worth putting money into.
A MK4 (dime a dozen) 2.0L Automatic could not be a bigger waste of money to try and make fast. Just lower it, drive it and move on to something better when the time comes.

It's interesting. You come here asking for help. And opinions, but yet, after your questions, you basically say f*ck the haters inb4 whatever and all that sh*t.

I'll tell you now not to waste your money. Don't touch the engine. Just don't. It is a 2.0. Don't. You'll lose mileage, and most likely make the the car less reliable.

Re: twopointslow

I was reading some 2.0 threads awhile ago. Some people were mentioning getting new cams and a chip tune for them, as they're fairly inexpensive, and provide a bit more torque and horsepower to make it more "fun." Was looking at some cams, but not too sure what would be an appropriate one to get..? was thinking something like this: http://techtonicstuning.com/main/ind...oducts_id=2407
as for chips, i know they can be pretty pricey.

inb4 just sell and get 1.8t, dont waste your money blah blah blah

Re: twopointslow

So my dad is letting me borrow his canon EOS Rebel t1i camera. It came with a 55mm lens, as well as a efs 18-55mm lens. I'm pretty noob to photography, but have been wanting to get into it. I've started by taking some shots of my car ( inb4 hate ) Let me know what you think! Any good photography tips!?!? Also, little update. As of today, im now 18. birthday money should fund coils. Also found a badged grille at pick and pull. sanded it down and re painted it because it wasn't black. didnt take any pics, but yeah man.

Re: twopointslow

If you plan on going properly low, there's no point really worrying about ride quaility most coils in the sub ~$1500 range will have very little difference, none of them will be that great. I've still got rokkor coils on my gti and really haven't seen a need to upgrade yet. There's lots of other things that change how the car will ride vs just getting spendy coilovers.

Re: twopointslow

What Dylan said^ just take your springs out and you will be the most slammed mk4 ever!!!! But seriously I've heard all kinds of **** talked about all kinds of coils but really for what you need ultimos will be fine, I would see if geo will sell you his, clean them up and throw em in.
For older golfs and GTIs all I really care about is that they will ride low and corner well. I had FK Streetlines in my mk3 and while they are considered a shitty coil I was happy with them. Racelands will be fine

Re: twopointslow

The ultimos are great for really low...but know this...cranked all the way up in the rear is still very low

What about with just the springs in the rear, no perches, wonder how low they go....

Re: twopointslow

Talk to George (geobmx4gaylife) and see if you can grab his ultimo's for cheap. Crank them up to a reasonable height and they will ride pretty decent. They only start to blow and be unreliable when you have them cranked all the way down.
Then again any coil will ride decent if you don't lower the crap out of your car.

Well I probably won't go any lower than having the fender just above my tire. This is my car as of now, I just picked up the new wheels 3 days ago and currently looking for coils.

Re: twopointslow

I was told that they were kind of crappy? my budget would be no more than $800

Who did you hear that from? Anybody with personal experience with them or someone just saying that they were crappy because they were cheap?

[Drewlikecrazy]

Re: twopointslow

maybe i'll give them a shot, that way I wont have to buy coils online.

[Danaldson]

Re: twopointslow

I doubt they would be that bad. Even if they break they have a 2 year warranty

Re: twopointslow

Concept has a decent set for pretty cheap.
