Aaarrgg!! 82 Gti

[BarbsGTI]

Well I guess my reputation precedes me.
Thanks for the intro BTW. The Golf is going well but it is at VW center as I type this. I took it in to have the relays (missing) replaced a lower strut brace fitted and get a roadworthy certificate. But as it turns out it is in need of a little more work that I had thought. Electrically mostly but the back struts are also pissing out oil so I have to get new ones which isn’t really a bad thing because I had planed on lowering it a little and stiffening it up a little with a bush kit as well as a set of firmer struts all round. But I had planed to do this in a few months time.
What is the school of though on suspension for the MK1 GTI? I come from a Jap turbo scene so the brands I am familiar with don’t really apply. Thanks and I look forward to letting you all know how the car is going.

Welcome to the forum Barbs, great to have you here.
I would fit Konis anyday. Nice ride, not too firm and adjustable.
I hope you enjoy the forum Dave. Cheers, Andrew

They're in another league in every area with good coilovers. Worth every cent. I'd never run spring and strut combos on anything again
