Suspension Questions

Post by ben_gti »

Hi Guys,

I have been thinking of changing the suspension on my gti for awhile now. There are so many different makes and types I am a little overwhelmed.

I do about 25k a year so I am looking for the most comfortable option really. I have heard good things about the H&R Cup Kits but what other bands prices should
I be looking at?

I am looking for a 40mm drop.

Thank you,

H&R cup kit is a great choice. I had that on my GTI and it was great - perfect 35-45mm drop and comfy as! Definately recommend it.

Good stuff.

Have you got 15" wheels or the 16" in that photo?

Thanks for help. I will go for the H&R kit then and I will look out the 16" because they fill the arches better.
