sod paying £1200 for suspension, if you were gunna spend that much then buy some Leda stuff

Why not Spend £400 on koni's which are dampening adjustable.

Then save the other £800 for a VR6


U know u want to

as i already mentioned, its funcional aspect is that you can have your bumpers touchin the floor for the slammed look whilst having it raised makes it impossible to ground out on speedbumps and humpback bridges. golfs look so cool imo when they are impossibly low. i'd say in that respect they are more practical than coilovers on a day to day basis. if you saw my drive you'd agree why i've fitted hydraulics.

u2u'd price
so i can use switches or the tv screen with whats shown?
cheers


Yes m8 two-air cylinders are for the back
And the struts with bags on top are for the front there good ones as they have got shock abosrbers in them can adjust also to make them softer harder!

You can use switch box or screen by the looks of it! The hoes in the last pic not 100% on them but there not air lines look like they go on the electric switch gold thing!

Amazing price could sell this kit almost double what you paid for it!
