Buying a Bora 4motion..help?

[Back Door Shenanigans.]

Hmm i'm not sure but the dealer said that mine has sports shocks on it and its lowered a fair amount so much that it bottoms out on a fair bit so im not sure if its the stock sports or some after market ones

Talk to Frank at orange tuning in Germany about supersport springs.

Had 'em on my bora for 8 months now and no complaints at all.

cost about 300 from memory

be after market, dont think there was such think as 'sports suspension' in the boras

[Jaydnisevil]

Correct me if im wrong, but I was under the impression the 4motions had the sports suspension.
I fail to see how this can be true, and also be described as soft

I have a Hybrid setup of Bilstein B8 struts and Mk4 R32 Springs. The springs are Euro spec and therefore are slightly firmer than the Aussie/US Spec that R32's were sold here with...

Overall, a very compliant ride, no crashing or bouncing over undulations. The other strong suggestion is for uprated sways, I have gone with Neuspeed 21mm solid bars front and rear, and it seems very balanced through the twisties, most recently confirmed in a run thru Jenolan Caves Road .

Don't think you're wrong, as far as I know the 4MO had factory 'sports' suspension.

I have been driving 1 4MO or another now for 10 years all completely stock but the suspension is about the only thing on the car I have ever though was slightly under done.

Yes it is factory sports suspension, and yes it is very underdone! Its alright for normal driving, but if you want to give it a bit of a hit (as most ppl who purchase these cars will), its really exposed.
