What is a good cup kit for a MK3 golf VR6

[twoscoops]

I am looking for some input on some cup kits. One of my rear shocks blew a couple days ago, and I am in need of suspension. My current setup was a supersport cup kit and after about 100,000 miles on them one rear shock went. I might get the same setup, but I have been looking into vogtland, eibach and maybe h&r. I do not want to get to spendy somewhere in the $450 range.

Does everyone in this community believe in coilovers only.

A good friend of mine had a Weitec 60/40 cup kit on his MK3. It handled good, wasn't very bouncy, lasted a long time and dropped it to a nice ride height with just a little rake to it. Should be in your price range.

may i ask, how was the supersport cup kit? like how low and ride quality?

[VR6GTI]

they ride great. and if you were to actually follow the link it tells you how low they are. most likely 1.5-2 in like most coils or cup kits.

I thought the supersport cup kit rides very well, and it drops the car 2 inches in front and 1.5 inches in the back. I would get these again, but all I need is the struts and shocks. Venom motorsports sells the struts and shocks separately but does not ship to the U.S. I might just end up buying them again. I purchased them on ebay.

One more thing VR6GTI the clubsport kit and supersport kit are two different things.

I went out and checked the the gap between the tire and the arch. It is around 1 inch of gap.

just get coilovers and do it right the first time.

what crappy coilover's are you going to suggest? racelands, rokkors or jom's. I have no problems with cup kits, they get me low enough to get rid of the wheel gap of the mk3 platform. Also they have a close to stock ride. I will get coilovers for my jetta and they will be good ones. not the low budget ones.

I had neuspeed race springs in a cabrio, not bad...pretty low.

I am going with the Vogtland junior cup kit.

i’m not going to suggest any coilovers for you. do your own research asshole.

[twoscoops]

I do not recall asking about coilover's in the first place. After I put the vogtland cup kit in I will let people know what it is like.

The vogtlands arrived via fedex yesterday, and they should be going in this weekend. I will let you guys know how they ride and add a pic of how low they are.
