Weitec coilovers any good??

Hi, just in the mits of buying some new suspension going for coilovers and i have heard a few good things said about the weitec ones? I was just wondering if anyone could back these up? i.e how good quality are they? what do they ride like/handling etc.. thanks for the help in advance Rich.

Nothing to compare it against (except the old, original suspension) but yes, they're good.

Cheers for the quick reply which ones did you go for? And if you dont mind me asking where did you buy them from?

It was ages ago, it was the basic coilovers with no damping adjustment. I can't remember the model number now. It was a happy accident - I wanted FK coilovers after positive reviews, ordered them from a supplier but they were out of stock and they offered Weitec as an alternate.

PS I just searched around on eBay for the cheapest supplier of the particular brand/model I was after. After all, its a sealed boxed item, the supplier doesn't make a big difference except for the price.

I ran them on my VR6. Not bad, they are made by one of the bigger brands anyhow, dunno if its KW or FK.

They were much more pleasant than the supersport things I had on my Mk3 GTI. they were harsh!

I run hottuning coils on my cab, cheap and cheerfull, not a bad ride, half the price. If you want comfort then coils aren't the best route.

yes there very good the same as APs there good too if you have em use em and the ride is firm but forgiving and thats oaky

I use Weitec Hicon GT in my Mk2, ordered from Awesome GTI.  Very happy with it so far, much better the cheapie hottuning that I had.
