Geezz... God help up

I resemble that remark!

The Mk.1 Scirocco weighs a lot less, which is the 
reason, why you shouldn't use them on a Scirocco 2 
16V. If you had really stiff A1 springs. that you 
wanted to use, you might be okay...
You can use Scirocco 1 springs on a Scirocco 2 8V... 

When I first bought my '88 16V, I installed my 
Bilstein BTS-172 kit and it sat way too low, I had 
to remove the inner fender skirts.
I had previously had the same suspension on my 
RIP '85, and it wasn't that bad, it sat a little 
lower, but the 16V is a lot heavier, especially if 
you have a/c and PS. 

Before that I used the Bilstein kit on my RIP '81 S 
and that's the car that the kit fit the best, it sat 
just right, and it handled great.

Btw, nobody has a sport spring for a Mk.1 16V...
I used a set of linear Neuspeed race springs 
w/Bilsteins on the '79 16V, and it kinda sits like a 
stock Scirocco.

I'd recommend getting 16V springs, H&R's or Neuspeed 
sports for a Scirocco 16V.
