MK4 GTI Solo-Werks S1 Coilover Install + Review

We installed the Solo-Werks S1 coilovers on Alex's MK4 GTI and basically showed you guys how they are put on. They ride nicely and there is no body roll. Plus they go pretty low and give the car a nice stance.

very well done video and explanation. great job guys, thank you

[nikitawarton]

THANKS FOR THE HELP my coils are on gon see how they ride

[lollol-xpmc]

Dont the sway bars hit the axles when you go low on these things?

[SanchoSanto]

How did you guys intall the passenger side coilover? Did you have to remove the axle bolts? I'm researching how to take the old shock off without undoing the axle.

Pro-tip, the ECS branded coilovers are Solowerks F1. Their Customer Service offered me a price match on them when they were out of stock of theirs. Good video! How's the ride quality after almost 6months?

you just install top mount for rear springs? none of the rubber bump stops?

[Speedy]

For the top bushing on the front, Can it just sit on the tophat? the old coilovers i am removing have a tophat then a plate for the top bushing to sit on, aswell as a rubber piece under the nut. The solo werks dont seem like i can put the small bushing on the shaft even though thats how its shown on the instructions. Any suggestions?

how are the dampers? Cause im going to slam it on this but scared that the dampers are way to soft to run static with these?

[axera]

Can you tell where did you get those white rings in your headligts? I have them but they are kind of yellowish

[MDCrosswell]

Ay man, just found the channel and I’m loving it. Quick questions hope you have time to answer, but what coil-overs would you recommend? Also was it a bitch to install the catless down pipe? Worth it or is a muffler delete enough to get that growl? I’m currently looking to build my mk4 golf and looking for inspiration and asking those who’ve done it for advice

peep the caddy pickup i just put some solowerks in mine

[mladenhristov]

No camber in the front? I run the same suspension but not nearly lowered as yours and I have positive camber in the passenger side. I wonder what I could adjust to fix that. I was hoping to be able to do something before having to put in camber plates.

Interested in your opinion: my '04 MKIV GTI VR6 needs a suspension refresh. This video helped me get familiar with the job. I'll install Bilstein B4 dampers (heavy duty) for a better than OEM quality replacement damper while maintaining similar ride characteristics designed into OEM. I did not find aftermarket springs that would be a suitable substitute for maintaining OEM springs ride characteristics. What's your opinion on reinstalling the same springs with the new dampers? Is it okay? If not, why might it be a bad idea?

[JacobSchiavon]

Did you guys reuse the factory stretch bolts for the front coils?

[lucasfernandopereira]

hey man nice car, in brazil the mk4 gti is istill very popular and im curious about your wheels size what type of tires you are using in your golf.

[._brendo]

How are the coilovers now? They still mint? Im currently in the process of putting fks in mine, Finished the rear but doing the fronts, Gotta wait for the new bushings

Lil skies, I fw it. But thanks for the help. 01 MK4 Jetta Wolfsburg edition going on coils this weekend

[insideonly]

My struts are taking a brick to put in. They aren’t fitting into the bottom bracket

[EuroStann]

How has the 3in downpipe been? Did you get and ebay one? If so how has it held up?
