New to me 1986 Jetta deluxe diesel

(1/1)

Oty:
I just picked up this 1986 deluxe jetta 1.6 today for $750 off of craigslist. The interior is in fantastic shape but I will need to do some work on it! Any specific struts/shocks I should look at?

vanbcguy:
Bilstein is my go to for shocks. Depends what you are looking for though. Cheap? Soft? Firm? Stability during cornering or floaty on the interstate?

air-cooled or diesel:
2nd for bilsteins, try tire rack; they can easily last 8-10years, maybe get as much as 120kmiles on them, that means theyll go thru 3sets of tires, on the fourth, swap out new ones, align,etc. i get real good performance from mine.
