Suspension Setup?

[mcinvale]

I have a client/friend that I traded out 50% of an invoice for some parts on my MKIV GTI. I've decided to use that on some suspension gear. I have $1,200 (at wholesale pricing!) to spend.

Any recommendations on specific setups? I'm thinking coilovers since I drive up to the mountains so much in the winter and don't wanna jack my car on all the shit that falls off at the end of the season....

coilovers??? i lack the funds... but if i had the $ you have, oooh, go with H&R coilovers:tup:

KW's, Vogtland, Koni coilovers all good stuff

www.purems.com ... talk to MikeKim for installation ... he can also recommend the parts for your setup

Thanks!

Emailing my contact for pricing on the Koni & Bilstein kits right now. I've had good luck with both of those brands on other cars.

Bilstein = yummy =)

Koni's are awesome too

cant go wrong with either brand, especially since they make 75% of the coilover shocks between the 2 of them

If you can afford it, Bilstein PSS9's are the shiz.

if you can afford it Ohlin coilovers are the shiznit !! =)

but personally, i love the stasis coilovers ... i got the tracksport on my audi now with 600lb front springs and 1100 lb rears

im not sure they have a kit for VW's

this is compariable to a lot of spring setups

i'm 99% sure i'm gonna do the install at my clients shop. hooray for a garage full of tools and lifts!

Ohlin's makes suspension for the MKIV's?

I didn't know that. I run an Ohlin's rear on my Aprilia, and they are badass. If they have something thats a direct bolt-on.....

Time to research.
