I think the stiffer spring rate that ARC coilovers have, works much better with the G6, seeing that it’s much heavier. The mk1 is very light, so I’d imagine the rebound to be a lot harder, hence the bounce, especially on that low height. An extended top mount will do wonders for the ride quality. I used to run Maxtrac coils in my Golf back in the day, and on a low height like yours, the car would bounce A LOT. After installing extended mounts, I could drive it low AF and still have it somewhat comfortable.

Thanks so much for that bro 🙌🏻 you’re the go to guy, when it comes to the lows 😂 so appreciate the advice 🙏🏻

I'm new to the channel 😎😎😎 was looking for any reviews on the Arc coilies, well a bit too late though as I already bought a set for my 9n3 1.9 tdi 96kw...i hope I enjoy them and not get a bumpy ride as I don't wanna go too low just want 3 finger gap rear and 2 or 1 front. Thanks for this video.

Both golf's look great the polo looks ace .when yours was stopping it looked like a car with abs .I'd personally lift the front up 1cm .just to give the front spoiler a bit of dive room .but run it low for the track .as you know fwd cars launch differently if too low ar the front and too high at the rear .we call it reverse speed boating....awesome video jamie

I really appreciate the review on the coilovers and how they compare to other brands. Im definitely going with Arc over Joms next. Which means my current maxtrac coilovers will be for sale. Thanks , Jamie and Wade for the review. Hopefully the fk coilover review will be up next..

The Fks i have in the polo are also super good im on the lowest with helpers in, without helpers it can go down more. They say when helpers is removed it's a better ride quality.

I have lowering springs and my car doesn't bounce at all. Unless on a really bumpy road. But its really smooth. Was surprised because when I bought it I thought it would be very bouncy and uncomfortable like everyone told me it would be because the car is low

Thanks so much bud. I’ve only driven in mk1s with the jom and arc which are both very similar so I can’t really compare to any other brands. But also depends on the application and how low you want to go

Long time ago I fitted a set of affordable coilovers to my mk1 Golf, it was a bad idea then and it is still a bad idea now. The car rode terribly and the standard suspension was definitely significantly better for fast road driving in the real world. Also please put some decent tyres on your car, that will make a much bigger difference to your handling than cutting springs and cheap coilovers.

If you remove the helper springs you will get a more comfortable ride than with helper springs in...helpers causes the car to hop more. Thats why we as stance guys don't drive with helper springs in

U were supposed to remove the helper spings for less bounce and have it clear the tyres so that the coilover locking key doesnt touch . U can roll ur fenders too if u want to tuck the tyre and not let it touch ur arch and let it burn ur paint good video non the less cant waut for the next video
