    aftermarket suspension for golf mk1

    hi everyone,

    I am going to be looking at new suspension for my mk1 sometime soonish. My shocks are worn.

    i currently have king lowered springs on the golf but i need new shocks on all fours so i figured id upgrade.

    My budget doenst stretch as far as coilovers lol (i wish it did), so what is a good option?. Im interested in Cup Supsenion. Is that what they are called?The non adjustable, lowered springs and shocks as a set.

    What are the good/best brands and what kinda price range am i looking at?

    cheers

    I'm pretty amazed at the quality for a budget coilover system with damper adjustability with the weitecs. Have heard it's a super stiff ride which is what I'm after. Came in the mail today.

    For $1300 shipped you can't beat it.

    Let me know if your interested I'll give you a contact in the US.

    If anything suspension is one of the best areas to invest your money in even for a standard car.

    1300 shipped is great for coilovers. Still a bit pricy for my suspension budget tho. Im considering a 16v engine somtime in the fufure so $1300 will go to the motor rather then coilovers. Coilovers after 16v

    Merry Christmas everyone.
