Title: 8v GTi - underdamped or undersprung
Post by: mowgli on 23 March 2005, 18:21

I have been in the "leave well alone" camp after putting a full Koni kit on my 1st Mk3 and it was a load of ar$e.  I feel that the std ride is a bit "jittery" so, which of the questions do you reckon?

I won't be going the coilover route so thats ot an option.  I wondered Eibach springs or bilstein dampers.

Thanks for you inputs.

Eibach are on my car and it handels well. Firm ride but certainly not uncomfortable.

My dad had Eibach springs and koni shocks on his MKIII VR6 and it was much much better than standard.

I had the same setup on my MKII 8v GTi years ago and that was ace too.
