Default Vmaxx coils

I am thinking of starting to save up for these since the price dropped to 400 bones. What does everyone think?
worth the money? I Just wanna go low, not track my car. I know I get what I pay for. But I am a broke ass college student. haha

Default Re: Vmaxx coils

i got them on my mk3, and they are worth every penny IMO

not show quality but handle great and the ride is not bad.

they can get really low if you want to remove the bump stop and helper spring.

was also thinking of getting them for the mk4. im still thinking about it

yah I would be cutting the bumpstops and removing the helper springs. According to a few vortex celeberities it improves the ride quality too.

I will let you know about the mkiv ones, if I get them before you do!

Yeah, I was going to say that Vmaxx would be a better choice than Racelands. Unless you really want to break end link tabs every month or so

Vmaxx just got cheap to be able to compete they used to be 700 dollar coils now 400. its either these or FK streetlines or something used in the same pricerange. I was on racelands and HATED it. they were ****.
