"New" MK2 in Melbourne

[ozvino]

So you kept the springs?

Yeah tyres made a BIG difference for us. I have no idea if our tierod ends and bushes are worn.

How sitff are Bilsteins? Like MK5 GTI stiff? I ask b/c I know that Bilsteins can be notoriously stiff.

No, not at all; compared to the Tiguan 147 with 18" wheels that I bought for my wife its soft and comfortable yet firm

They are the black coloured Bilsteins, supposedly similar to the OEM shocks...

That's cool.

www.germanautoparts.com

I'm sure if you search I asked the same q at some point

[ozvino]

Yes, German Auto Parts; fantastic service, great place for a lot of parts and the freight price is very reasonable. Given the strength of the Aussie dollar they represent great value
