  • MK4 suspension and upgrades!

    Need some imput from fellow mrk4 owners.
    I had a set of reset springs in the car (60mm lower) and stock shocks. The ride was very comfortable but a bit "BOATie"
    As i was planning on modding the car now, i thought to upgrade the suspension before wheels. So i bought a set of SACHS springs and shocks. They class them 30mm lower than standard. ANYWAY... the suspension is really hard, stiff and harsh, anyone had experience with these coilovers? This was on stock rubber, ive since upgraded tp RS6 18's.
    Anyone got some input?

    These are the coilovers Ive ordered, i did a bit of looking around and these seem like a good compromise with cost, and features. the best bit is that they are fully adjustable height and dampener. once they land ill be putting them in, and posting a thread.

      PM Lorenz regarding coilovers. He can sort you out with some height adjustable coilovers and strut tops.

        so... are they coils or a spring/shock setup?

        also anything will feel like a boat on the stock 195/65s or 205/55s, the side wall flex is amazing. soft ride though!

        x2 on waterboy, hit up Lorenz or Evorobin
