Title: Mk2 suspension - new project
Post by: Tomonator1985 on 14 February 2012, 15:39: Hi,

Just got an '89 3 door 1.8 16v gti.

It has been lowered on adjustable coilovers but the previous owner had no idea what make and i have no idea how good they are or how long they are going to last!

So...i need to get new ones....

What are people using for a low look with a medium/ sport ride?

Thanks!

But has been covered hundreds of times including a massive post comparing different springs shocks with coils
