help suspension upgrade

[syncro]

I've found VW springs to be extremely long lasting and well made. However they do have different comfort/handling shock absorbers for different markets and I think the Golf 2 shocks/struts could do with an upgrade. Anyway after about 80k/kms they are probably worn out.

yeah looks like im into replacing the struts and strut bearings... Ill have a look at Heasmans. Thanks for the info moto hope it works out

alright guys. I just rang Heasmans and the news is not good.

I told him what car i had and all that and that i wanted to get some new shocks etc. He told me that they dont have the parts for mk2 gtis and that the only way is to take it there and then they can assess what needs to be replaced and special order but i lookin at starting $1000

Dont do it! Far out. I have just bought a new non power rack and strut mounts for less than $500. The bushes should come in fairly cheap too. (less than $200) Once you have the parts (I suggest Genuine Trade Imports) you can get your mech to install... Way cheaper.
