I've had mine for nearly three years ( mk1 golf ) now bout 25K on them I think, still fine, fairly hard ride, but I got used to it. Good predicable hardling, not skittish in any way. Good bargain choice in my humble opinion.

I had some on ym MK1 scirocco. As said, firm It rode ok ish i guess but was a bit bouncy. However, i then dropped my tyre sizes down to a smaller profile and things improved. As they are quite stiff, big sidewall tyres seemed to be softer than the suspension so it just bounced around on the tyres. With smaller tyres they made the suspension do the work rather than the tyre. With the smaller tyres it rode quite well. Ill be buying more soon for my jetta.

i'm running raceland coilovers on my mk2 golf cost £160 for the set off the bay and they are great . the car handles well without feeling to stiff . they are a lot stiffer than the stock suspension but the ride is good on all but the worst roads well worth the money I use the same on my Jetta and I'm well happy with them.

I have them on my daily... Been on there for 10k miles now and can't fault them, mine were branded TA Technix (ordered hot tuning but there all the same) As others have said they seem well made and fitted perfectly, they are quite firm but then they need to be, if you wound them right down and they wern't stiff enough you be ripping off sumps I'd not hesitate to buy another set.

its a shame they don't do them for mk3,4,5 cortinas really as the cortina suffer with very woolly and frankly dangerous suspension as standard and these would sort them out a treat for a fraction what it cost for the set up I have fitted to mine and that needs new shocks now

Fine for a daily but a no-go for anything above fast road

Fine for a daily but a no-go for anything above fast road don't think most people on here would be buying them racing or such things, seems they're mostly goin on mk2 golfs etc, just to get them low, rather than make them fantastic handling race cars.

I ran them on my Passat and they were absolutely spot on,they were reasonably hard,but like everyone says,you get what you pay for!
Well worth the money
