APEX Springs - 1.75" or 45mm
Koni Yellow's with the rear adjustable spring perches.
works like a charm. the car feels like its on tracks ( besides the bad =
tires )
also this set up set me back close to $1500 Can ... but its worth every =
penny

  Hi there=20

  With UK roads 25mm is that most you want and some real good bumpstops. =


  Koni, PI, Apex - they do 25mm.=20

    Hi

    I've got an 86 GT and I need to replace the springs - one of them is
    broken.

    I want to use lowering springs but I don't want it to be _too_ low, =
I
    want to maintain some semblance of ride quality. Looking at the =
space
    between my front wheels (14" VW BBS) and arches I don't think there =
is
    room for a 35-40mm drop with much suspension travel left. The =
springs
    are over 15 years old, could it be that they have sagged and the =
vehicle
    already rides substantially lower than it used to?

    Has anybody got any experiences with a lowered Scirocco 2?

    Can I use Golf GTi mk1 suspension kit (springs+shocks)?

    Any experiences/pointers gladly accepted, I have never fitted =
lowering
    springs before.

    --Andrew

    86 Scirocco GT (UK spec)
