Are these Godspeed coilovers basically the same thing as BC Racing?
Does the dampening adjustment adjust for compression or rebound? Or are these basically show coilovers that are made to just go low? __________________

I am honestly not 100% what they adjustment is focused on rebound or compression but I will get that info for you, they are not just dump and go coilovers. All the track cars they run are running godspeed suspensions on the cars and are time attack beast! __________________ V2 in progress.

I removed the rear collars since I didn't like how high it originally sat with them on. I am happy to say it rides AMAZING, this little ti doesn't have power but it has amazing handling in corners now.  __________________ V2 in progress.

So here is the rear suspension fit with the Godspeed coilovers *Sorry for the greasy spring*  Bottom I cut the spring pad to allow the bottom plate to sit flush to hold the spring in place.   Top adjuster went in perfectly  All together !  Have to say I love the coilovers and ride quality! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk __________________ V2 in progress.

Still has enough clearance. I will try and get some rollers soon of the little Ti in action . __________________ V2 in progress. Volkswagen MK6 GTI | | | | | 01-09-2015, 10:45 AM | #40 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: Orange County, CA Posts: 2,019 |

The bind would give horrible handling and make the car unpredictable. __________________

I am going to be autoX next month hopefully and will be adding the rear collars for the event . __________________ V2 in progress.
