Suspension ?

[laydon]

My Mk2 8v is on standard suspension which is now 15 years old. I quite like the ride there is a little more body roll than I would like but it's not an issue. I don't want to mess around with adjustable settings or have it too low just fit and forget. Can anyone suggest an upgrade? I don't mind splashing out so budget is not an issue. Is it true that the 16v suspension is slightly lower? anyone have experience of driving both, would a 16v setup be the best option.
I could replace with standard vag items but surely suspension has come a long way in 15 years.

If money isnt an issue then i have 2 words. Coil Overs. Would be stiffer than standard though.

Thanks for the link but I dont really want to drop more than say 20mm?

if you want a comfy ride then dont buy coiovers. Supersport Goldlines are back breakers trust me

ohh and nice mk2. looks kinda like 'slammed mk2's' one

If you want a good ride, not too hard and not too low I'd suggest the boge turbo shocks and lowering kit you get from GSF. I know its not a very flash kit but it sounds like its just what you want, I had it on my last car and it was a good combination of ride and comfort. You probably want the -35mm kit as thats -35 from standard height, gtis are already lowered i think its either 15 or 20 from standard height so the resulting drop will lower your car by either 15 or 20 mm.

Mk2_Ozz is on the right track with the Boge Shocks, but I would go for Eibach springs, they are fantastic.

Edit: I have the 40mm drop springs on my car, and I am very impressed.

choose the Mk2 then click on 'suspension'. worth shopping around for. Found mine going cheap on ebay.

Thats a good point actually, if cash isnt an issue you may as well go for eibach springs

If you're looking for a really good setup, go for the koni shocks and 20mm eibach springs. They completely compliment each other and give a very subtle look as well as a pinpointed drive, not harsh at all, unlike my avo coilovers!
