I need to sort the suspension on my Golf out. Currently the options look like this:
cheap Bilstein kit (Streetline IIRC, Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs,
35/40mm drop) cheap Boge kit (40mm drop again) VW spec springs (do springs age other than sagging?) and Bilstein dampersMore expensive options would be the next Bilsteins up the range, Gaz and Koni kits, but that's £300 instead of £180.
Tyres and wheels look like being G60 winter wheels (15inch x 6, ET35, and
195/50 tyres to keep the radius the same).Polybushes could also be on the agenda. I'm not bothered about a drop unless it's going to give better handling on B roads, rather than tracks. I want to get over speedhumps. The 8V is already dropped 10mm from a standard Golf, and I suspect the springs will have sagged a bit over 114k, so I doubt the drop is going to be much more than 20mm on a 40mm drop kit.
What do you reckon?
