Suspension advice for MK2
« on: July 22, 2013, 05:18:28 am »
I  have come to the conclusion that the coilovers on my new golf will not be my best bet for winter driving. Im  Looking for options as to what suspension set up would be the longest lasting  but have close to factory MK2 GTI results. I am looking for something that has almost stock height

What coilovers do you have? How adjustable are they and have you played with the adjustments much?

This.

Or koni yellows with stock springs/sport springs.

I had that setup on my jetta and it did great in the winter.

Neuspeed sport springs , not sofsports, and I cheaped  out on sachs/boge struts but they do ride nice. I did the Jom spring caps too , but don't bother.  It's so low cause of the tires.
Throttle cables ftw
