Air ride advise please for my mk1 golf

[sallyandsean]

Ok I like a slammed car but use it everyday so have decided on air. Looking into the kits on ebay they have prices from £1500 to £2600 and my budget would def be the lower end. At the moment I have coil overs so the few questions I have is as follows. Is the lower end kit at £1500 any good and easy to fit or can you buy a universal kit that uses the coil overs and just replaces the springs on my original suspension. I'm not mechanic but not afraid to have ago at stuff. I would be glad of any advise, links or kits that you can tell me about. Cheers guys.

Get the best you can as when you get the cheap bags they don't last long

please tell me as much as you can like can I just buy bags to go on my coil overs or do I need full new shocks? Cheers

I'd go for a high quality coilover set up which will still give a decent ride.Less than a grand and lighter than a bagged set up without the need for all the control systems.

Check out the usual specialist dub site for info as there are loads of 'bagged' cars on the scene.
have a look in Performance VW magazine for links, you could even buy a copy.......

the reason I was thinking air rather than coils is because I use it everyday I like the idea of being to raise it on curse word roads.got a performance vw at home so will have a thumb through it.

I'm looking for a bolt in kit with a buget of £1500. There isn't really much choice and so far I have only found these two. Both kits look different so I was hoping you guys could tell me the differences between them so I can make the right choice before spending so much money. don't know of it helps but I'm running porsche teledials 7j with 15mm adaptors and 165,50,15s and wI'll noch the chas sis before busing but nit sure if it wI'll be require? ??. Any other advise will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Looking to order bagyard suspension with a simple 2 paddle management as thought I'm better to spend on the bags with a management that suits my buget. Would you sat this is a good way to go???
