yep got a cab running on konis and lowering springs, as you say ride is very harsh with 45 profile tyres

but it does handle well

there's quite a few peeps on mk1golf.org who run the hottuning coilies and they're quite cheap

just don't let 'diamond hell' find out cos you'll get a right slagging off  :grin:
