      Coil overs

      Hi there to everyone...
      I'm in need of your assistance as you know I'm from South Africa and getting aftermarket parts here is proving to be very difficult and expensive, due to the modifications needed to adapt what we have here .
      I'm looking for coil overs for a 07 sedan that a simple bolt on without crazy modding.
      Is this possible and can someone please put me in the right direction your help will be highly appreciated thanks in advance.

      Hello from the USA,
      There is a thread for this that I will link below but I will short hand it here. Volkswagen MK1 Golf coilovers should do the trick. Does require some grinding of the front spindle to fit into the coilovers but anyone can do it with a basic angle grinder.

      I have run this setup up for over 3 years but Ive finally moved on to s13 coilovers and probably one of the lowest to date. Im on all the time so I can answer any questions.Name:  Screenshot 2021-05-06 000905.jpg

      Just buy some mk2/mk3 vw golf coilovers. Remove the rear spring and shock and install rear coilover in place of shock. Grind half an inch off both side of spindle to fit into coilovers for the front. Easy process beside pulling sway bar. There are end link kits made for this conversion. I do not use these, nor plan on getting them. Any questions just post them. Ill help as best i can.
