I'd also be getting some info on increase spring load's for the VR in a mk1.

Nice. what do you go up to. Around 380+lbs? on the front.

I think from memory my V3's are 340lbs on the front & 285lbs rear

Have to agree with golfworx……you get what you pay for! I wouldn’t be putting them anywhere near the Mk1 VR6, Dom

I second that. For that kinda project mate you spend dosh on some high quality coilovers. Spend a bit more and save yourself the drama in the long run

Yeah, that’s pretty much in the ball park! Probably go up in the rear a bit.

IMHO, I wouldn't go too much more than that for the rear, especially if you plan on running a thick sway bar!

My car is as scatey as a dog on lyno when it's wet on the back & front. Also having 45 profile tyres doesn't help either.

Was like day & night though with the Semi race rubber on. Was also a much smoother ride.

Yeah way too much bump and rebound for the wet. Sway bars don't help either. No bite on the loaded tyres.
