I am planning to fit a set of vr6 shocks with mk2 eibach lowering springs, is it going to be too stiff? Anyone tried it before?

What wheels/tyres are you running?
I have cheap coilovers and they are mega stiff with the 195/50/15's that I'm running. Every bump in the road shakes the car. With 185/60/14 they are fantastic.1978 MK1 2.0 16v http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...-46488-70.html

Vr struts would be suited to the heavy engine, not sure how well that would match to the mk2Comment

If you've got a VR6 to pinch parts off then grab the rear sway bar for your MK2 as well.
VR6 shocks will be stiff but should be OK if you like a hard ride.1978 MK1 2.0 16v http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...-46488-70.html

Is mk3 vr6 suspension to stiff in mk2.
I'm running 16s. So I guess it will be a harder ride then.Originally posted by sports racer View Post
Maybe it's suited for track days.

Does the upgrade require just the rear bar or the complete axle? If its the compete axle, is it gonna drive weird with wider track at the rears?Originally posted by Jmac View PostTotally agree on the sway bar
I also read we could shorten the front anti roll bar from vr6 and use it on mk2 standard track width. Has anyone done that before?
Maybe I should go wide track for fronts if I can get the subframe...

Depends mainly on the engine (to the OP). I am running mk3 VR cup kit springs in the front of the MK1 cabby, because the 1.9TD is a heavy lump. I am also running bilstein yellows in the front (the proper bilsteins) which gives it just enough damping.
You really want to match the spring/shock combo to the axle load.'07 Touareg V6 TDI with air suspension

VR6 sway bar goes straight on to the MK2 rear axle assembly.1978 MK1 2.0 16v http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...-46488-70.html

Sorry if this sound stupid, but I can't seem to find photos of the stock rear sway bar on the vr6, only aftermarket ones.Originally posted by sports racer View Post
