suspension?

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

you fit 3 people in a scirocco, 2 in front and one lying down in the back...

I never foudn anyone wanting to sit in the rear seats of a rocco
before...must be my age group thing, old folks don't like to perform
gymnastics inside a car to get in or out.. hehe

To answer your question, what suspension do you have on there (shocks and
springs)?
My 8v is NOT lowered and it rubs when I turn (due to 205/50's wide is better
eh), but a bit of rubbing occurs when I take a texas dip (its a local road
thing) in the rear, or bad crack in the road in the front will rub slightly
on the edge of the whell well.. I am planning to fold the edges.

Hey I have an 87 8v rocco, i just got some new wheels and some 195/50/15
sumitomo tires.  The car was lowered before I bought it and i like the look,
but when I have more than one person in the car the tires tend to rub over
bumps.  When i have 3 people in the car the rear tires will rub by just
speeding up, althought they are a 55 series tire, so that might make a
difference. Anyways, I like the look of the car and want it to stay low but
i want to make the suspension stiffer...i think whoever put the suspension
on to lower it may have cut the springs but i havent checked it out. Anyone
with any ideas on a good suspension (low and firm enough to autocross) for a
pretty decent price please email me back!
  --I am planning a throttle body and intake manifold and exhaust manifold
(4 into 2) upgrades...I will keep you all updated!!
