It's time for struts on my '95 Passat GLX, and I want to upgrade some from OEM. I of course want to improve the handling, but considering my use and some of the roads I have to drive, I do not want to lower the car, and although I am willing to sacrifice some of the ride, I don't want a harsh or overly stiff ride. I am looking for reduced body roll and increased steering response.
Any suggestions? Upgrade cartriges only? New springs ( and to what) different sway bars, poly bushings? or what?
Thanks!
(BTW, 118,000 miles)
