    Thats right - but how many times would you change the damping/height in a year for just road use? The KW set up has just the right height drop and the springs are matched to the dampers for optimum damping so I wouldnt change/adjust it even if i could. Really depends on what you intend to do with the car - if you track it then yes you'll want to adjust damping etc. But for purely road use i dont see the need for that when you can buy a good quality sring and shock combination already set up for you.

    Mainly for cost reasons - i'm not going to be tracking the car so dont need that extra control over the suspension therefore no need to spend the extra money.

    KW only do one non-coilover set for the MK3. I got the kit from Evolution Sport - 0207 474 5883 who are offering a 10% discount on the kit. Retail is £325 plus delivery - well worth it imo.

    Hi Guys I just fitted a set of KW springs and shocks and the car feels awesome! The springs are progressive and the shocks are built really well. The car now handles like a completely different beast, much more positive and loads really well into corners. Its not harsh at all and takes bumps well - good damping. The drop is about 40mm so looks good too. Well recommended!!

    Hi guys I'm about to put a set of KW shocks and springs on - are there any other bits I should do while replacing the shocks - ie top mounts etc? Thanks!

    Hi Guys Mate of mine is breaking his MK2 golf which has recaros in it from a G60 Rallye - will these fronts fit my MK3 golf? Help is much appreciated!

    Yeah they look a bit tatty though. Would the MK2 Golf front seat fit?

    I desperately want to change my front seats to something with a bit more support like some recaros. I currently have standard leather ones. What are my options? Can I modify some old Cosworth seats with the MK3 subframes?? Help appreciated - I really cannot take the lack of support much longer, especially lumbar support!!

    I'm thinking about a set of KW's (not coilovers) for the VR. Has anyone tried them?

    Hi guys My car has a slight misfire at idle which you can just hear and when puling away it seems to hesitate a bit but goes away in the higher rpms (over 4k). Could this be a failing coil?

    How well do VR's respond to remaps? Has anyone had a before and after RR done to show the change in the curve?
