suspension

[stefan]

The suspension in my car is getting a little weak. its stock, with 110000km. i dont want to drop my car too much, but if i have to replace the suspension anyways, i might upgrade a little. One recommendation i got was to find a low milage set from a GLI, which might work alright for me, but I'm not sure about what a good price is.... There is some on vortex, shipping might suck, but im just playing with the idea for now. what would YOU pay for a low milage set of struts/springs from a GLI??
(the ones on vortex are 150$ and 225$USD plus a lot of shipping..)

Re: suspension

200US is fine and shipping can't be more than like 50US..

Re: suspension

this is them, 7500 miles on 'em, wants 150$ US, i think they are not bad

Re: suspension

For the $ I think this would be a good choice. I drove a 337 gti (same setup) and thought it handled quite well with a nice ride.

Re: suspension

Is the GLI suspension lower/stiffer than a standard 1.8t?

Re: suspension

yes like .75" lower and stiffer.. maybe .5" lower something in that range anyhow

Re: suspension

bah 1" is barely noticable man.. plus no front lip/kit you'll be fine.. even with my 2" drop and a stock front end its not bad in the winter..

Re: suspension

I still have the springs from my GLI if you want to buy them....then you just need to find some struts

i need the struts more then the springs, so i think i'll jest get them all together.
