budget vw suspension

[vx220]

hi,

"settled down" and bought a bora tdi 130, but after the fiesta turbo (on coilovers) it feels a bit boaty!

i want to lower it 30-40mm, but retain some ride quality.

at the moment, having just bought it, i don't have a fortune to lower it. but i've seen various spring and damper sets for sale sub-£200...

names like janspeed-raid, jom, supersport.

any experience of them on here? good or bad, not necessarily on vws

i know the sensible thing would be to hold on a couple of months, get kw or eibach. but car is not fun to drive atm, and wifey has eye on some purchases for the house!

cheers

I wouldn't lower it, you'll ruin the ride. Anti Roll bar adjustment and a proper strut brace, as well as stiffer suspension bushes, will help with the boaty feeling while not making it really crashy.

Another vote for leaving it alone, keep the settling down going and leave the suspension alone. It comes to us all buddy!

At the very least save up for it and get something quality fitted, or look out for a s/h set of larger alloys with lower profile tyres. That'll make all the difference and It'll look better then too!
