I had Boge ProGas and Hor technologie springs on my Corrado. Never again. They were so harsh and bottomed out on regular pavement. The ride was so harsh, I ruined two CD Head units and my carpool disqualified me because no one wanted to ride in my car. I've noticed that Autotech no longer sells Hor Technologie equipment.
I have Bilsteins/H&Rs currently in my daily driving Jetta and I am pleased. -Les -----Original Message----- From: Jesse T Walz <[email protected]> Sent: May 13, 2005 12:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [a2-16v-list] RE: MKII Suspension options I have bilstein sports and H&R sport springs in my 91 gli. It is some of the best suspension I have ever driven. I had Boge pro gas and Hor springs prior to the current setup and there is no comparison. The Bilstein and H&R setup cost more then most, but is worth every penny. I would stay away from the H&R race springs as I have heard they are too low and very harsh without giving you any significant added performance. Also look at Shine real street suspensions. I plan to get that for my wife's golf.
