I'm having a problem finding a set of coilovers for my mk3 gt, every website i go on mk3 polos arent even in the list of polos that the kit is for.

all the sets i find are for a polo 6n, will the kit for the polo 6n fit my polo? or does anyone know wher i can get a cheap set from new or used?

coilovers on a mk3 are hard to come by because its hard to make coilovers that will fit the front, philj is selling rear ones for a mk3 for £150 i think tho..

he can also get a full set made but i think u have to provide the struts ETC and it cost a bit

orite, cheers mate i really apreciate that, now i know why I've been having trouble finding some

no worrys :) just helping out a fellow GT owner

^^ jimmy is you gt down 60mm?

yeah, all round at the mo, but going 80mm with topcaps on front on wednesday :) why u ask ?

mines down 40mm, my old one was down 80mm with caps and was almost undrivable through anywere with speedbumps , but it did look good!

you got a build thread or something so i can sneek a peak at the 60mm drop?

cheers

I'm actually a little worried about that as i do ALOT of speed bumps and the roads around here are really bad!

maybe ill go without the topcaps...

heres just a few pics, i dont have a build thread tho :(

i very narrowly managed to avoid gettin stuck on the bumps at no-rice, stil twatted them, i hope your runnig a straight through!

hmm looks good, but i want to go lowererrrr

man i hate the bumps at no-rice, i always hit them!!

thanks dude, ill show u a pic when the front goes lower :)

ok mate, you planning on sellin your 60mm kit?

A company called Pi makes coilies for Mk3's, and GAZ, and i think theres a couple more that will, but as said, you will have to send them a pair of front legs so that they can make the coilies, as the hub and strut is one complete unit. This is why coilies for Mk3's generally cost £600+ - they are essentially made to order.

ok mate, you planning on sellin your 60mm kit?

i am, but philJ has 1st dibs I'm afraid.

its a weitec 60/40 kit with adjustable rear shocks, ill let u know if anything changes tho if u want ? :)

go for it :) then next time I'm at norice we can both complain about how inconvienient it is lol

awesome bowt the coilies, id love some. maybe when i have more funds.

what size/make wheel are you running ? do u have any pics of you are car ?

il ge tsome pics up when iv sorted my car out, heres my old one , its down 80mm with caps running 175/50/13s on BBS RAs

xcore- are you running phil j coilovers at the back?

think so, was on the car when i got it. ^^ thats not my current car with the coils on.

that looks really tidy man :)

so thats how low mine is gona be (at the front) when i get my suspention done, looks pretty damn low!!

^^ yea miss it!

yep, 80mm + caps looks pimp but unpracticl, tbh you only live once so you might aswell do it!

fair enough. what is the ride like with them on, stiff as hell?? :biggrin:

yep, iv got a rear strutbrace and a halfcage welded in, so it is very stiff and solid, and extremely tail happy on roundabouts in the wet! nearly lost it a good half dozen times and iv only owned it 3 weeks
