Some of the BBS center caps cost more per corner than those coilovers..
Why get the most expensive wheels but the cheapest possible aftermarket [strike]performance[/strike] parts? Does that completely underscore what the VW scene is all about?
Not trying to be a dick Uzi, but "dampening" isn't what a coilover does. The coilover doesn't make anything wet, or even slightly moist.
here is the thing, i want a coilover that is going to go low, ride nice, for not alot of money, and these coilovers are perfect for this, you know just as well as i do that vw's are not prime for racing in, the expensive wheels are for just looks, thats all i like vw's for is looks, so i'm not going to buy (excuse my ignorance) 36 way adjustable dampening for me only putting it at one setting, all the way down. and if you ride in the rain your coilover will get damp
