HYDE16 Reviews - ST Coilover Kit

[greasyginzo]

I haven't yet, I plan to drive in WetMoney's GTI with NGP's and Jeff43's GTI with HPA SHS's.

OEM struts had 40K miles on them.

you ever drive a car with Bilsteins?

 

[HYDE161]

Negative, I wish I did or can.

I was going to ask if you and WetMoney could do a comparison.

You guys should get together and compare as well!

Thanks for the detailed review as always.

Running coils at that height has a better ride than you did with DG/stock shock combo? I always read and heard that it would be the opposite as far as which had a better daily ride.

Very curious. I believe the NGPs are rebranded STs. Curious to what they adjusted / changed.

I agree, they are identical. I spoke with NGP at Waterfest and they said that their springs are firmer than the STs.
I also noticed that the NGP's go lower in the front. But ST's rears def go lower than NGPs.
Ryan is basically tucking and he isnt maxed out in the rear. I on the other hand, maxed out in the rear and just barley tucking tire. That is my observation. I am no means a Moar Low fan. But I am happy with my dialed in ride height. 24.25 FTG Front and 24.50 FTG rear. You cant go wrong with these setups. Daily driven entry level coils priced right.

Good deal. Even more so "priced right" with a 25% off sale!

What's the weight difference between the DG springs with OEM struts Vs.the ST coils ?

Not right now, no ... but they usually are a few times a year at 20%... i think they may have offered the 25% at waterfest.
