GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - Ed_van_Dijk - 22-05-2013
As above please. Was originally after some GHA as they are cheaper but if someone has some second hand gold ones laying about that'll be fine!
What have you got?
RE: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - Ed_van_Dijk - 29-05-2013

RE: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - the milkman - 29-05-2013

Re: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - CJ_Derv - 29-05-2013

RE: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - Ed_van_Dijk - 30-05-2013
Are they any better than raceland coilovers?
RE: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - the milkman - 30-05-2013

Never even heard or raceland or hottuning tbh
RE: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - Ed_van_Dijk - 30-05-2013
I dont want more shit, i got raceland on there at the min after everyone saying they are good, they lied!
RE: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - Midnightclub - 30-05-2013
That's because racelands/ta technix/hottuning all have the same spring rates from 1.4 all the way up to GTi, so while they may be awesome for the lighter engined models.. the heavy '6 lump will make them feel quite spongy
Quality wise racelands don't compare anything like GAZ golds or GHA's.. hence why GAZ cost about 3 times as much
Re: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - CJ_Derv - 30-05-2013
Tbh we are just guessing these are TA's il know better when off car and see if any markings

Can you get higher spring rates for them?
RE: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - Midnightclub - 30-05-2013
Yes, think demon tweaks do them, but obviously the shocks aren't great either so could ideally do with changing too if you're changing the spring rates.. but by the time you've done that you are like 2/3rds of the way to buying a set of gaz anyway.. i was in this same dilemma the other day haha.
Saying that, some 275 lb springs would make them a lot better... depends how hard you drive tbh but the springs are like £60 iirc
RE: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - Ed_van_Dijk - 30-05-2013
They just bottom out so bad, any little bump and they bang and i live on back roads so its not ideal!
There are loads of on ebay - something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Faulkner-Coilover-Race-Spring-9-2-25-21-4-ID-250lb-/360574475691?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item53f3e9ddab
What did you go for in the end, I can get Gaz GHA's brand new for £450. Thinking of going springs and shocks route again!
RE: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - Midnightclub - 30-05-2013
They on eBay by any chance? The guy will do just the fronts for £350 if you've already got some rear shocks..
Well EITHER (lol, i can never make up my mind) a decent shock and spring setup, guy on ebay is doing bilstein shocks all round with 20% stiffer springs for £219..
or i'd just get the front gazs and some other rear shocks. if you don't NEED adjustable ride height then i'd go for a decent shock and spring setup tbh
RE: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - Niall - 30-05-2013
Bilstein b8s with eibach springs is a great combo unless you want the silly low/felt spec/Puglove look.
RE: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - Ed_van_Dijk - 30-05-2013
I dont need adjustable ride hight but i want it to sit how it always did before i put these racelands on, which it was on shocks and springs lol
Re: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - CJ_Derv - 30-05-2013
Mine havent ever bottomed out so may be good ones may have to review my selling price lol
Had my mate whos got the car stored have a look and he rekons there V-Maxx just had a look online and I think they are from what I remember
Midnight are v-maxx anygood?
RE: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - Midnightclub - 30-05-2013
i THINK V-maxx are the same as tatechnix etc... but i can't be 100%, they look the same and are around the same price so.. the reason why they might not bottom out on yours is because a DT lump is a fair bit lighter than the GTi lump mate
RE: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - Ed_van_Dijk - 30-05-2013
Gay isnt it! Makes me hate my car!
RE: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - Midnightclub - 30-05-2013
Be glad it isn't something jap lol, all their suspension kits are like £600 minimum for coils haha
Re: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - CJ_Derv - 30-05-2013
Ahh I see there more expensive there 300 for v-maxx and 190 for ta's

They only go down to 40mm dont they? I wanna be a whore and go down 60mm
RE: GAZ GHA/Gold Coilovers - Midnightclub - 30-05-2013
I believe g-max ultra low 60mm springs are the only ones that go that low specifically for the '6
