Glanza-Ben Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 You need to have a shaft to go threw the bush as again the rubber will collapse else Quote
5e colin Posted November 21, 2014 Author Posted November 21, 2014 i will leave the bush inthere thats already there just make hard rubber washers for between the bush and axel bracket with a hole in the middle for the bolt to go tru the center this will stop the shock moving side to side and should fix it i think ha ha Quote
5e colin Posted November 24, 2014 Author Posted November 24, 2014 alright i pulled out the bushes of the bottom of the coils ( now i wish i didnt !!! ) and cut away some more rubber to have room for washers i just drove it up the mountain gravel road and seems fine no funny noises of it and not moving aside will check it again next week back on the car the 2 washers i can move with my finger so wont damage the axel bracket Quote
steviet Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Good resolution Colin,keep reading up on this thread. Top job Quote
rwdrev Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 why didnt you just move the bracket across abit, thats what i did, cut it off (the whole side, not the 1 with captive nut), bolted the shock in place, then welded the tab back on. Quote
5e colin Posted November 24, 2014 Author Posted November 24, 2014 im sorry but i ant going to shop of my bracket on the axel just for the budget coils are you on about the right piece of the bracket ??? Quote
rwdrev Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 yeah, i cut the tab right at the bottom with a very thin disc, then re welded it back on. worked mint Quote
Mike_trx Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 I'm running golf fronts on mine with EP91 TRD springs and TRD top mounts. I had to remove the helper spring as it would touch my 15"s, but with a 5mm wheel spacer and just the TRD spring it clears fine. The tracking got a good laugh at the garage when I took it down, miles off, but once it was done it was great. 6 months or so down the line and it's still good, maybe too stiff for some but it works.

5e colin Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 thanks for the feedback mike wat brand where they ????? my polo 6n ( jom ) are very comfy better then the ta texnics before !!! Quote
5e colin Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 going to update this in a while with some more hybrid coils , as seeing 1 of my d2 rears is fucked , polos or stock rears modded to fit the housing we will see soon Quote
Mike_trx Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Sorry Colin, never saw the thread had been updated. I had the TA technic set on mine, but if you are finding the polo ones a better ride I maye try that too. Quote
5e colin Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 i prefer the polo 1s indeed there way more comfy thinking of buying another set or so Quote
karl. Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I'm selling a full set of these very soon if anyone is interested. Real good setup for the price Quote
karl. Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Most likely around 200, I understand you can buy them cheaper yourself but it's the hassle and cost of getting the other stuff done. Quote
karl. Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Pounds Colin, suppose that works out pretty dear for you at the minute the way the pound is going.I will stick them up on gumtree and hopefully some local fella will buy them to save posting them. Quote
beardy_sam Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Hat off to you 5e colin for testing this, I've been looking into this now as people have been okay with them fitted by the sounds of it, does it matter if I get 6n or 6n2 coilovers or they both the same? Quote
5e colin Posted May 3, 2015 Author Posted May 3, 2015 beardy 6n mate 6n2 have baloon like springs Quote
beardy_sam Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 beardy 6n mate 6n2 have baloon like springs Thanks for the reply means I can start looking for some Quote
5e colin Posted May 3, 2015 Author Posted May 3, 2015 no bother but just dont cock up on the front camber !!!!! take your time doing so Quote
dan106 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Just gonna bump this up! After finding out my teins are blown up and un-bearable to drive on. Will these do the trick? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Coilover-Height-Adjustable-Shock-front-VW-Golf-Mk2-Mk3-Estate-SW-Cabrio-/361009350294?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&fits=Model%3AGolf|Plat_Gen%3AMK+II&hash=item540dd58696 Also, if you have to use the starlet top nut, will the camber top mounts off my teins fit them do you reckon? Quote
5e colin Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 should bolt strait on just try on a oem shock if it does it will fit polo thats 70£ for 1 thats very pricey look for ppolo 6n they can be got for 150 for al 4 Quote
dan106 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Ive got standard top mounts if need be i just want the camber adjustment for when i drill the holes wrong aha! Yeah I realised after i posted that it was only for one. I was hoping theyd be a cheap pair but im gonna have to buy the lot arent i, ill have a look online because theres alot of dub wankers round my way there must be a second hand set cheap! Quote
5e colin Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 if you fuck up it can be saved with camber bolts :) i would not buy second hand unles a set for 50 Quote
