On a similiar subject would Eibach springs be ok if I bought new Vag dampers as i'm after a driveable car not a track stlye set up although would like to get Eibachs Arb's, my mates 8v had them and it was such an improvement over standard ....

Laydon thats one clean looking Mk2 - will have to show my brother as he had the same colour and he loved it ....

I am looking at this too, I took a look at the awesomegti site, they have a Bilstein sportline kit for £169.  top brand great price, whats the catch ?  Makes the Koni kit look expensive at £298.

My mk2 is now using bilstein sprint line (yellow ones) with eibach -40mm spring superb, Cant fault them. Will be fiting soon g60 front arb and neuspeed rear light weight rose link arb. Proper set up.

Shaft 69 - What do you mean "proper set up" i thought Eibachs were alright?   But if your saying g60 front and Neuspeed rear is a proper set up, then is that for normal use daily use or track use?

eibachs will be fine, trust me!

Yes that will be OK, they were designed with the origonal shocks in mind. The reason people say do the shocks with new boge or Koni is that they are an improvement over standard shocks and in the Koni's case, have adjustable damping. Your old shocks will almost certainly be passed there best, unless they have been replaced in the last few years.

Thats for normal every day use to work and back and couple of runs at santa pod. It be bilstien coilover if for race use very exspensive tho.

Cool as im not after track set up just something thats lowered abit and not a solid ride, but dont mind spending to get it right as the rides got to fairly standard no harshness!!! So anyone with Eibach springs with Konis that can give me there verdict??

And arb's in the near future ...    

Thanks Guys Dave
