Re: Suspension

I'll third that.  :-)  I paid $405 from the Potterman
(http://www.parts4vws.com) including H&R springs, TurboGas
struts/shocks, new strut bearings and bump stops.  The ride isn't bad at
all.  It can be a little rough over railroad tracks and big bumps, but
that's to be expected.  I've had the setup on my car for about 8 months
now.  It's been doing fine, including the survival of 8 autoX events.
