    Your suspension mods

    Hey guys with mk4s -
    Looking at abit of a suspension upgrade, I've purchased a H&R Cup kit (thanks fkindubbin) and will be purchasing 22mm Adjustable front and rear whiteline swaybars. (Rear set stiffer than front )

    Now - My question is - What have you guys done for strut braces?
    Front and rear or what? What sizes and what effect has the mod had on the car ?

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Ah i'm sort of curious about anyones suspension setup

    Did you do it all at once or did you do it progressively? (ie - did the sway bars make much difference after hte coilovers?)

    no I did it all together because of the drop coilovers give ,if you dont change the sway bar the drive shaft rubs on it.The H&R sway bar has the special extra curve to allow for the extra drop.

    its no longer the same car with the new suspension.it makes a HUGE difference.
