geordiedubber 0 Posted March 27, 2005 I am looking for some coilovers for my c but am on a budget, Ive seen ak's on ebay for about £300 delivered from germany, Supersports are a little more i think but Ive read one or two bad comments on here about them. Anyone running ak's on there c ? Whats peoples thoughts as to whats best for that kind of cash ? Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alby 0 Posted March 27, 2005 ive had supersports on my old mk2 vr6. very harsh ride ive got aks on my corrado at the moment.very civilised ride cant reccommend them highly enough for the money.ive had konigs, h and r and spax in the past and cannot warrant spending the extra cash for a daily driver. the only draw back is there isnt enough lowering on the rear imo.

MickeyT 0 Posted March 27, 2005 I've got ak's on mine and I think they're great for the money. Mines a daily driver as well and I've got no complaints over ride quality or handling. Got mine delivered from Gwent VW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted March 27, 2005 Supersports tend to leak after a while.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alby 0 Posted March 27, 2005 theres about 15mm left on th threads.bit worried the springs would dislocate if i went much furthur. they are listed as a max 75mm drop. excuse the wheels.it will soon be sporting some fine widened splits Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G-Lader 0 Posted March 27, 2005 I think most sets if designed for a C will make A road driving lots of fun........but they are not going to make you enjoy riding round town more! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
