V-Maxx Coils

[20thAE_GTI]

I have been reading up what kind of coils to get lately seeing is i have to much time on my hands but i have run into a delema. Most kits you are going to be spending about a grand for coils besides the Vmaxx kit. I have read tons of things on then and have nothing but good reviews and comments from everybody. They might go the lowest but i dont want that and they are by far the cheapest. Does anybody have any input as to this or any eperiance with Vmaxx products?

Here is a write up i found

[Getaway Car]

Only thing I'd worry about with cheap coils is the rusting on the dials after a couple MN winters

[ShowCar]

That's a fair concern. There are a few local guys with 'em on. I've seen them in person and they go pretty damn low, I wouldn't worry about that. If I were to get coils (and I may in the spring), I'd try out vmaxx.

[20thAE_GTI]

Well at 600 bucks for coils you really cant go wrong at that price. I think i will order then this winter and wait to install till next summer so then i dont have to worry about caughing up the money then

I am about to jump on those too. Talk to Olson he has a few tricks on keeping them good for the MN winter.

[silver saloon]

I was going to buy these but then got scared away from them after hearing that they would probibly seize during the winter. Ended up getting an Eibach Sportline Kit.

[tainted]

any will you just have to take care of them. anti-sieze the threads or wd40

[SLK]

the only big thing that made me stay away from these is they arent the most performance oriented coils. they seem like they are more so for just lowering the car...

[Digital K]

just get a cup kit.

[MadBuny]

Or you can buy my set, Brand new never mounted.. sorry to jack.. but I can save someone a little money.. 575.00 cashola instead of 600.00 plus shipping

^^ Mad Bunny you have the vmaxx coils?

[space]

Im looking at a set to get in the spring. they are cheaper then a cup kit for my car. Coils are not really that big of a deal. you lower it once and are done. they are going to seize up.

[MadBuny]

^^ Mad Bunny you have the vmaxx coils?


I do, come and get them... :)

Wait, for your mk4? then NO sorry... :( Mk1 set over here.

Just an FYI, even nice coils (stainless steel bodies) can sieze... if the adjustment ring is aluminum, which most are. It is called dis-similar metal corrosion. It basicly happens when two different metals come in contact with one another and electrons decide to jump ship.

Even 'good' coils should not be neglected... esp. in the winter.

Exactly. This is why i stayed away from coils period.

I am WAY happy with my H&R Cup Kit... not slammed but very drivable all year round... and just tonight I got another compliment...

[20thAE_GTI]

Well i have the 20th so most people on the tex with my car say that a cup kit is just a waste if you wanna lower your car then coils are the thing to do

[ShowCar]

and just tonight I got another compliment...

W00t:thumbup:

[20thAE_GTI]

And I thank you...

ghey

[maxter00]

I just got mine on my mkIII vr and i love them. Totally worth the $$. I expected less. My only complaint with these is that the rear is a bit bouncy. As far as performance they are actually pretty good!

[20thAE_GTI]

Ok i have made up my mind i will order these one i get my new digital slr camera paid off and my tires that o ordered today..sucks

[prodigalsunn337]

yeah 600 bucks is nice but... they don't have damper adjustment do they? well i thought they didn't i may be wrong. look int B&G RS kit. they're hard to get but they're about a grand, have damper adjustments, and have 2 places for hight adjusment at the top and bottom so you can slam it and not have some shitty bouncin

there not very good. Thats just what I heard...

[tainted]

Mi kits on da way holmes

[prodigalsunn337]

oh thats cool. hope you like em. i've heard good things on vortex, and bad. but do they have damper adjustments?

[tainted]

I'll know tomorrow when they get here

[ShowCar]

Nope, I don't believe the VMaxx have adjustable damping. That's the main thing people complain about.

[tainted]

On the street is it really that important?
lots of people like a lil cloverleaf fun but seriously

[Digital K]

most coilovers aren't adjustable. my H&R's arent....I dont care.

[dubswede]

my $.02 here, my weitecs are and have never touched them. My konis were on my mk4 I set them to all the way stiff at first, then changed them to half. didn't touch them after that.

[John2.0T]

My PSS9's have adjustable dampening. I experimented with it a little bit but once I found a comfortable setting I haven't touched them.

[tainted]

if you are tonight I will dicuss, my typing long posts is out for 4 months

Got Hosed...

Need to roll fenders... I got a Saige mark on the drivers front

Well i have the 20th so most people on the tex with my car say that a cup kit is just a waste if you wanna lower your car then coils are the thing to do
agreed... i have h&r springs and they didnt even do much for my car at all... i am purchasing coils in a couple of weeks too.... i definitly think i might give the vmaxx's a try... it seems for the money they are the best! i really am just looking to give it a cleaner stance!

[20thAE_GTI]

You just have to keep searching for deals eventually if you keep saving up you will be able to find a good deal on something nice.. i saw new koni coils flr like 850 not to long ago on vortex so i am waiting for someone to have a sale on some bilsteins pss9

[M J D]

if your looking a really really cheap price you can get raceland coils for like 300 have no idea how good they hold up or anything but they lower very good... but vmaxxs are nice got them on my mk3 but just cant get the back to loosen to adjust them more
