You can't go wrong with the bilsteins and Shine Racing springs and rear swaybar. That's what I have in my '90 GLI and it totally kicks ass. Much better handling (IMO) than the H&R, Autotech, whatever other "sport" springs that are out there. The car takes an immediate set in corners, is totally neutral, doesn't push, I can induce oversteer when I want it with a little left foot braking and the ride is surprisingly comfortable because of the retained wheel travel...
