2muchchedder 0 Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 my shocks need changing front and rear. i am thinking of putting original VW shocks. however, been told that standard shocks are crap. i like to keep my car totally standard, dont have much money so what suspension would you reccommend for similar price to what i would be paying for VW shocks? im looking for a comfortable ride, with only a small ride drop, but improved handling.are there any cheap coilovers for similar price?cheers Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Steve 0 Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 I would suggest you try GSF or Eurocarparts if its standard stuff you want. Link to post Share on other sites

dubloke 4 Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 think nickbee is selling his koni eibach set-up off his golf still. a good buy imo, and far better than standard stuff even with a modest drop in ride height. send him a pm and see if they're still for sale!
