No hands on experience w/the mentioned H&R cup kit, but I've heard it lowers
the car a fair amount, about 2". The Nuespeed race springs are probably
going to be fairly stiff. As for other options, I've been happy w/the
Bilstein Sport struts/shocks and H&R Sport Springs. Combined with the front
upper VR6 strut bearing conversion (recommended) and lowering caps it ended
up lowering about 1.1" all around from the worn stock pieces. This still has
a nice ride quality, controlled, but not too stiff.

Subject: [a2-16v-list] H&R Cup Kit opinions?
I'm debating on what to do and what to get for my 91 Jetta Gli. I have a
blown rear shock and don't mind throwing a few bucks into upgrading the
suspension. However, I don't want to shell out for the price of NEW
Bilsteins for all
four corners. I like the idea of H&R or Nuespeed Sport Springs but someone
locally has a set of Nuespeed Race springs cheap. I'm not looking for the
dumped
look, however, would not mind the car sitting 1 inch lower all around. In
addition, I'm not looking to lose any comfort but know that I need to
sacrifice a
bit when upgrading. I'm in the Boston area and it's full of Pot Holes at
this
time of the year.
Does anyone have any experience with the H&R Cup Kit on an A2? All help is
appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
