Bucky's Car (H&R cup kit, 19" wheels) next to Tracy's car (FK Cup Kit, 18" wheels) comparison



Bucky's is closest to the camera

Re: Where to get Coilovers installed?

I had those FK street line cheaper coilovers. I only had them spun down half way and the ride was just okish. Maybe I am getting to old to go so low. I might try out those ST coils the next go around though but first the cabby needs new coils

Re: Where to get Coilovers installed?

both cars look good! I thought there would be way more gap on the 19's

I like my ST's but have nothing to compare it too as its my first lowered MKIV. We should hook up and compare!

I say go with a cup kit! I've always used a Cup kit 1. because i'm to lazy to adjust suspension 2. I have no need
I just ordered another H&R cup kit for my mk6

ahh i miss my mk4




I needed to invest in a better camera back then. Not a great pic but had a 1 finger gap in the front and 2 on the back. Perfect for all year use

I uninstalled them and sold them when I wrote off my last golf. I am back to 20th AE suspension again.

Didn't you guys have problems in the winter with cup kits? How much did the kit lower your car front and back?

Re: Where to get Coilovers installed?

Back when I had my MK3, I had a 60/40 cup kit on it with a VR Valence, and it plowed all winter. Snow would get stuck in the fenders all the time and it just got annoying. With the FK cup kit on Tracy's car, I believe its a 35/40 kit (We wanted the 55/40 but it has something to do with pre 2003 MK4's and it catching on the swaybar or somethin-or-other). Cant say we've had any problems in the winter. Yes on those days where it snows a ton, we still plow, but its never stopped us from getting where we need to be.

If you're lazy and dont want to raise for winter, a cup kit will be fine. I personally like coilovers because it allows ME to choose exactly how low I want to be. With a cup kit, you just buy it and however it settles is what you need to settle for.

Re: Where to get Coilovers installed?

The thing with Coils is that you need alignment every time you adjust... so twice a year?
