Post by: patch900 on 15 January 2007, 11:45: Like robster says depends on the Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£ you have. Robster and I have both been looking and seeing what else we need.

The opinion was new springs, new shocks, new front mounts. Check your bump stops, rear mounts and dust boots and reuse if they are OK.

Other factors than price are how much you want to drop it, can go 35, 40, 60mm or adjustible (adjustible cost more).

I am going towards some spax springs and shocks but might change my mind.

totally agree with everything said there.

top mounts, bump stops and dust boots are always a good investment when changing shocks and springs.

ive got no idea what shocks / springs are on my mk3 at the moment, but im lookin at new top mounts and spax -60mm springs as i want it lower, IMHO i cant fault spax springs, had them on my last car and gave a remarkable smooth ride!!!
