Depends on what you get. I "rescued" a '90 GLI out of a junkyard last winter and while it was definately mechanically neglected, the body was in outstanding condition and it had never been molested by a modifier. No TEPO! Wiring harness was completely intact, which I think is the key to a good running older VW.
I've always felt that the H&R springs didn't have enough roll stiffness and prefer the feel of the Shine Racing springs, but I do alot of auto-x and track days... -josh --- Scott Schumacher <[email protected]> wrote: > A few comments for you.
