GTI Suspension

[Aoife]

Hi Guys,

Have picked up a stock Mk6 GTI DSG which I am looking at improving the suspension on it.

The car is my daily drive and wont be seeing any track work sadly. Also keen to keep it looking as stock as possible so ideally would rather avoid things like lowering the car unless its a small amount thats hard to pick.

Ideally if I can do something for 1-2K that would be sweet but could go a bit higher for a setup that could justify the extra cost.

What would people recommend?

better bushes and sway bars all round would be a good start

If you dont want to lower it the best mod you can probably do will be swaybars.

Whiteline anti lift kit or super pro equivalent isnt a bad mod either.

What sort of improvements are you looking for?

Have never changed suspension on a car so not entirely sure what can be achieved.

All I have done is with street bikes where you can make quite a few adjustments with the stock gear.

I would just get better (possibly adjustable) dampers - Koni or Bilstein would be my choice.

If you're happy with the balance of the car, start there (ie the basics).

Anti-roll bars and bushes are more serious tuning changes that I wouldn't do before addressing the damping.

Cheers guys, will have a read up on some of those options.
