Post by ace_the_house_cat »

Anyone heard of or used ARC springs or coilovers?

Are they any good?

Heard of them yes, because 2 places close to me sell them. I am not sure how good they are, I have been trying to get hold of someone who has them installed, but have had no luck yet.

i know of someone who had these installed on a golf 5 gti and he has had no issues to date(6months after fitting).

i also contemplated getting a set for my car but ordered s set of FK coil overs as apparently they go lower than the arc coil overs.
