  • What is the reason we don’t use the rear mk2 coil overs?

      They are too long, the springs are too stiff, and the spring diameter is larger which limits wheel/tire width.

      • Hey follow Canadians... Where did you guys purchase your coil over sleeves and springs? Trying to find the best price plus shipping options and I don't want to get stuck paying any B/S duties and or Brokerage fees.

            Hey gdh_85 I live in Chilliwack bc and I ordered my coilover sleeves and springs right from southwest speed in the states, as Mentioned in this thread.
            i couldn’t find a better price and duties/taxes was only about $35

            • Do the front coilovers matter as to dpecs or brands,? Will they all just work?

              What brand do people recommend?

                    Yes, the sleeves make them height adjustable

                    • The price has incresed a lot for some strange reason. The springs now cost $50 each at Southwest. I am going to take a long shower after placing my order. I feel violated.

                      • Does anyone know what front coilovers would be good to get this low? I got everything in this thread and completed the build of fronts and rear. Rears are spot on, drives nice etc.
                        The fronts however, I can’t get this low. The shocks bottom out before it gets anywhere near close enough. It’s currently on cut springs but doesn’t ride the nicest!

                        • I received my springs from Southwest Speed but haven't replaced them yet.
                          Maybe tomorrow?
                          When I am finished, I will end up with an extra set of springs.
