Reddy, mk3 :)

I swear by shock and spring kits, nice and cheap and i aint bothered about going too low, i like to keep it practical.

Hey, are you saying Dan's Wagon isn't practical?

His is perfectly practical!

As long as you don't have to go over a speed bump, or up or down a driveway, or up any kind of hill, or have anybody/anything in the back

Coilovers all the way, springs won't go low enough. If you buy springs, you will only end up buying coilovers later.

so true mate, thought I'd only go for 40mm springs with my bora as I wasn't bothered about it bein as low as my previous cars just wanted it to handle well, but now I have ordered some coillies as can't be doin with the 4x4 ride height!

good choice with the kamei grille btw talisa!

Same, mine looked like this tho :embarassed:





As for finding a decent Gti for under a grand, you should easily be able to do that, prices are rock bottom at the moment
