New suspension

[Mallers]

Hi guys first post on here s please be gentle.  Currently got a 92' mk2 gti 8v and was wondering if anyone could recommend a full suspension kit that would give me a 40mm drop all round.  Don't want to go nuts with it but don't want any cheap sh!te.  IDEAS PLEASE

I got a pi kit off ebay, 60mm, been spot on.
They do a 40mm one.

What McWill said really, just buy lowering springs. They will advertise what drop they are mainly 60mm or 40mm.

You can find it cheaper tho.

I would avoid cheapo coilovers if I was you. 

When I came to do mine someone suggested OEM shocks and eibach springs. I did and it's fantastic, great ride. Eibach do 40mm drops. Cost me £200-300 IIRC

Standard b4 bilstiens with eibach springs, mine are 60 mm lowered. Perfect. Don't waste time on coilovers unless you want to track it or spend all weekend adjusting them, measuring, adjusting, measuring, adjusting, etc etc.

Coilovers arnt that hard to adjust. Put them on once at a level height (not too low) and just leave them for a fortnight and let them settle. Now you can measure the drop you want, jack half the  car up at a time (front/rear) and lower them making sure to match the thread either side. Really isn't very difficult if you can jack half a car and remove a wheel.

Don't buy the cheap sh!t off eBay!!
If your going to do it then at least give your motor some respect. I chose GAZ coilovers with a 40mm drop and they are superb, teamed with Powerflex black series bushes all round and it's a sweet combination.
As for lowering springs, well, don't waste your money and save for a proper set.

including any coilovers under about £5-600

But I wouldn't fit any of that rubbish.  Re-bush the front end with OEM rubber.  It's done 20 years why replace it with nasty polybush rubbish?
