a nice standard mk2 should always benifit from better suspension. makes your driving happier and safe. altho i have never driven a gti on standard suspension as i lowered mine befor i drove it (dads car) but my 1600 was discusting. terrifieing (spellings ,thursday nite drink lol)
i like mine lowered and on bbs rims mayb not the original but not chavford jobbies so in my eyes its standard.
