where can i get some coilovers at a non rapeable price??
RE: coilovers - Ed Doe - 08-04-2013
Define non-rapeable.
What are you looking for out of them?
TA Technix are about £150ish new IIRC, but they're pretty dire. If all you're looking to do is slam your car they'll be fine, but if you're looking for decent performance, I'd suggest getting a decent OEM set up, Bilsteins with Eibach springs, or Gaz GHA or KW V1 coilovers. The price ranges from as little as £40 for a pair of OEM '6 dampers and lowering springs 2nd hand, to about £250 for a full new B6 kit with Eibachs (double-check that though as I've not looked at this set-up in a while!), to £400ish for GAZ GHAs and about £560 for KW V1s....
The merits of the budget coilovers vs oem with lowering springs on handling have been discussed to death, chuck it in the search and you should have your answers
