Ok then.
Well, ive been reading this thread as a guide line to my new suspension setup.
My Golf was never intended to go around a track either, so I just fitted a slightly better setup over standard.
At the moment its running the Weitec Ultra GT40 Shocks and Eibach springs to match and she seems pretty good. Car is very quiet around town and over bumps. Its doesnt turn into corners like a go-kart but you can feel every bit of oversteer, understeer quite nicely, and handle it well.
How fussy are you to creaks and rattles in your car? I like to have none of them
If you want to drive your motor around corners quite sharply then maybe the coilovers will be a better option.
I did a track day at Corborough a few weeks ago to see what it was like. Its nothing special really.. Its my first time at a track day type thing and I really enjoyed myself!!! Turn it up loud!!

I felt I had to roll the car into the corners before it started to bite. I cant wait to get the coilovers now!!! Im still unsure what to get??
I just thought Id put a video on here of her with the Weitec and Eibach setup, just so you can get a feel for a simpler and cheaper option
For me I just HAVE to get some coilovers now. The shocks and springs were good, just not sharp enough for quick steering input.
