i disagree. boge shocks are bad, and a waste of money at any price. between the three sets my friends had on their cars, at least one corner on every set blew within months of installation. one replacement also blew within another few months. ive seen two tokikos go as well (one was the replacement) so i also avoid them like the plague. IMHO, if you are trying to retain near stock suspension, keep the stock suspension. call me crazy, but it just makes sense that way. get slightly bigger swaybars if you need just "a little bit more", as they'll give a near stock ride, but a little more stability in the corners. dont bother with softsports either. same reason, same remedy. OTOH, if you want the ride of stock suspension, but the "look" of a lowered car, sell the VW. it doesnt want you anyway. ben C, stock suspension _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
