Thinking about better shock abosrbers

[noone]

Hi,

I've have had H&R springs on my Polo GTI for almost as long as I've had it (around 6 months). I'm happy with the overall handling since coupled with the RSB, but am thinking about doing a bit more for better cornering and less floaty-ness when at higher speeds (above 70kmph).

I was thinkinh about the Bilstein option (B8's as others have these with the H&R's) is this the correct part: 005107

If I only changed the front, would the mismatch between stock on the rear and B8's on the front with the H&R springs be a dangerous / strange combo? Asa my springs and shocks are already unmatched, I couldn't see why it would be worse... I ask as the majority of the weight is over the front wheels and only changing the front would be a cheaper option.

I noticed that Plautos has modified his shocks, is there a cheaper alternative to buying new shocks for those of us without access to a full workshop?

New to suspension work, have done some searching, but finding good info hard to come by. Any comments, opinions, etc would be appreciated...
