Title: Best suspension for mk2 8v for under £250??
Post by: Bigdunc on 17 December 2010, 21:44

Hi guys as title says I got about £250 to spend on new suspension, I been looking at coilovers but been advised there not the best for my price range.
So was wondering what's best shocks and spring kits around
Want to keep car around 35-40mm Hight, just after something that handles well and not to hard.

Thanks

Eibach Springs... Boge turbo Rear Shocks - OEM G60 Front Shocks (Did have Boge Inserts but they leaked after a month or so) - is what I have fitted & Very happy with...

You need to allow for buying all new top mounts and bump stops if you wanna do a proper job

Not sure you will get them all for your budget... But IMO it's worth spending that little bit more...

Boge turbo kit from GSF and fit G60 top mounts. And new bump stops.  That all cost me around £150.
