Title: Cost of standard GTI Suspension?
Post by: N4SOP on 04 March 2013, 14:08

I'm thinking of ditching the aging coilovers I have on the Mk4 and going back to factory standard. The car is a daily driver and with the roads being what they are in my area I'd quite like a comfy ride (yes I'm getting old!) plus speed bumps are a nightmare!

Could anyone point me in the right direction for best price shocks and springs please.

Thanks :)

Another thing I've just thought of..

Do I need to replace to top mounts after having coilovers? Not sure if they're the same as used with standard kit?

for the cost of top mounts it's worth doing them while changing suspension over.

Euro car parts do a top mount bush kit for just over £20
