I cut springs on many vws years ago in my 20s. Worked fine. Now in my late 40s. St coilovers. I’ve found are the best on mk1. Tried many !!
Excellent content. Indept review. Well done... You covered everyone's actual concerns... I'm also modding a citi golf atm. I've got koenig 40s it's not the greatest looking as it's not as low I would like but the ride is excellent . Gives an amazing ride... Given you have 15s on.will keep up with your channel👍
Everyone seems to have different opinions and experiences when it comes to cutting springs. My dad and I cut 2.5 coils all round off our rabbit and we've never had any problems, the car doesn't even bump and we changed shocks once in 9 years. Car looks fresh and I love the content broeh.
yeah but what size wheel were you using....some guys put 17z cut springs and then wonder why the ride is kak
@@pornokid333 we did that so long ago the car has been on 15s, 17s 13s and is currently in 15s and still no bounce at all... Whatsoever, maybe the rabbit springs are stiffer. Coz they were much thicker.
Looks so good already 🔥🙌 Can't wait to see it completely lowered
The car is starting to look mooi.🌟
Keep up the great content bud I'm really enjoying it. The car looks lekker💪
Keanan Martin thanks a lot boet 🙌🏻

I love your golf man its the best🔥🔥🙆♂️🙆♂️🤤
The golf is looking nxa bro keep the good work going.... Ive never seen such a great budget build in my life keep up the good work
Thanks so much buddy 🙌🏻
cut the front 1and 1/2 and the back 2 and 1/2 , it levels out nice , and the ride is smoother than with coil overs
I used to be on cut springs for half a year it had no problems but my back suffered a bit
Eish 🙈
Do they have a negative impact?
you cut it to much thats why
@@jamiepotgieterthe impact is not that bad but coilovers are better
Never cut. Did this in the 90s. Bad news. Great video.
Love the car broskie colour makes everything on this car unique...
Great content keep em coming...
Thanks a lot my man 🙌🏻
Love the content bro keep it up and I to have a mk1 and I just cut two coils of the front springs and my car drives better than it did with the stock hight and it don't bonce like I thought it would...
Do u have bumps in your car or truck or u take them off when cutting your springs
Dope Video bro!

I love bouncy rides they are my passion 💞🥰
Inspired ekse! 👍
Storm Da Silva 🙏🏻
I have a Silverado that springs are cut my ride is bad u guys think is due to my cut springs it bounces to much when driving
How low are you looking to go with the lowering kit?? We cut my friends golf springs not so long ago 3 coils in front and 2 at the back car was way to low and every little bump in the road we were bouncing everywhere
I thought so, that’s what I didn’t want 🙈 I was going to go so low but then decided on one and a bit coils instead. But I’m probably going to go with a 60/40 drop. Hopefully the ride is okay with a proper lowering kit
Clean car this one
Sibusiso Ngwenya thank you sir
Yohh bru here in pietermaritzburg they take off the whole spring
Tyler Thompson 😂😂😂
Mooi car mei
Some quality content again! What kind of drop are you doing 40mm or 60mm? I also want to do a drop on my car and from what I heard 40mm is the most you should go on stock shocks.
Yeah I was thinking a 60/40 just because I want the front lower than the back. But now that you mention 40 on stock shocks I’m having second thoughts
@@jamiepotgieter Do a 40mm all round with 20mm extended mountings(R800) and you will get a 60mm drop as well as your shock lasting a lot longer.
KEEP UP
I love to cut my springs of the car
13:39 how much is too much?
Can i have the color code bro, want that color on mine
U skutting around Southfield?
Lol yup probably was me 😂
more lows mr jamie they called it risk taker = neckbraker especailly how yr car shines at the moment LOL
did you buy coil overs yet?
if not i recommend you try ART suspension coilovers ✌🏼
Where are you guys staying?
victors mbewe we’re located in Cape Town
@@jamiepotgieter I love what u doing bro am also a fun of Mk1 .I have mine in dairy driving conditions but I need someone to work on it so that it looks better
Extended mounts = more lows
Hi where can one find this....thanks
Now you can kiss your chassis goodbye 😂😂
N MAN MAAK N PLAN 😋
😂
Malayaaliii
MY DROPPED SPRINGS I BOUGHT FROM MAX MOTOSPORT DONT BOUNCE AT ALL
Cutting springs not great idea trust me should of just put in the front kit still looks mooi like that
hi i like what your doing
Next time please edit some subtitles i hardly understand what you are saying. Thanksss
Cutting your springs must be the worst idea to lower your Golf. Apart from it being a terrible ride it will destroy the front top shock mounts. You will regret it.
The car looks amazing😢🔥, imagine it with a good set of wheels😍.
@_tedddy.bearr
Thanks buddy 🙌🏻 Hopefully we can get a nice set soon 😬
Hi Don't go to low besides all cons of bouncing, your back etc. You inner CVs is going to take a heavy punch as well, unless you have another plan for that.... Not a fan of lowering kits.
That isn't even dropped.🙄🙄
Just wasted you time
That didn't even make a difference... That's not a 20mm drop it's a 2mm drop😂😂😂
