Weitec comes with a TÜV approval form..
Weitec is good stuff... for the price you'll pay .. so no rubbish .. but not the best of the best either..

Conclusion outstanding :D

Would definetly recommend this bit of gear,

having had the car from standard, changing the suspension has definetly made a difference, I only really needed 2 back shockes but what the funk!couldnt stay standard for long,

The ride is alot tighter/stiffer, you can really notice it,

for example going round very tight corners or roundabouts(my personal fav especially on a warm dry day Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech)

you can just throw the car in and put the foot down and it holds no body roll atol, The visual stance looks good to, Still got room to drop it about a further 25mm but it feels good at where its at will probably experament a bit later on + the Stereo stuff will be going back in once its sorted dont know about this sub in dash if its going to be practical(thats another topic)

would also recomend the "Goodyear F1's" http://www.blackcircles.co.uk for anybody in the central Scotland area £150 for 4 195/15/V includind delivery next day. Anyone better up on that :P

was getting the tracking done at "Kwick-fit" was in a hurry needed someone to do it and they where closest at the time,

anyway the mechanic said "nice treads"......"how much ££""

"35 quid a pop"........"how much would you have charged me" just out of curiosity

they where shouting £290 "BLOODY RIP OFF!" i Said :devil: but drove off with a big smile :Q

THE END

sorry just get carried away sometimes dont know when to stop

Will get some pics posted

+got the Z2 wing mirrors just need to wire them up and blank off the old reapeater

for those unsure WEITEC was bought out by KW as they saw weitec as a threat and KW realised that they could not keep things as they were so they now used kw parts in weitec kits and 'brand' them weitec kits so really your getting kw at a cheaper price.......

say i'm full of s.h.i.t if you will BUT that was told to me by a TOP VW tuner when i had my vr6 :) story may differ a touch but you get the basic idea
