Title: suspension, strut braces, ARBs
Post by: Car nut on 19 May 2009, 10:20

What's the best suspension set up for these cars?

Not wanting the slammed look....

Just a nice stance and better handling....

Imagine the cars on 18s

I'd say go for a good springs and shocks kit matched with a set of uprated ARBs, something like the KW or Weitec kit with the Eibach ARBs...

Should the car have new bushes when suspension upgrade is done?

What is the best drop? 40/50mm

I wouldn't want any rubbing?

Depends how worn your standard ones are really?

Personally I like the 40mm all round drop.

Totaly agree suspension is personal like wheels, was only after a bit of feedback.

As golfs are new to me don't want to flash the cash and then find it's awful  :sick:

I have read a few threads on here already and the one in info. :wink:
