Re: A1 rear shocks...work in Scirocco II?

["Jeremy R. Bromley" <jbromley@mail.enterprise.net>]

Just to tie up a bit more confusion (or possibly cause a bit more!).
The Corrado has A2 front suspension, with PASSAT rear suspension, the 
A3 later inherited a SIMILAR suspension system to that.

Second point is that YES it is possible to fit Golf (Rabbit) Shocks 
and springs to a Scirocco, but I would say rather inadvisable. The 
reason being that of weight distribution and ride height. The Golf 
(Rabbit, call it what you will) has a MUCH higher ride height than a 
Scirocco, and also the weight is different and the weight 
distribution is different. All of these factors come into play when 
choosing springs and dampers for a car, get them wrong and not only 
will you have an uncomfortable ride, but you could be driving a much 
more dangerous car, particularly if the springs and dampers are 
designed for a heavier car, as you'll be bouncing around all over the 
place. So my advise would be to get Scirocco springs and dampers, not 
just "A1" ones. Konis are good, as are Jamex.
