Re: [a2-16v-list] RE: MKII Suspension options

[Mark Reda]

I've had Bilstein Sports and H&R Race springs for the last 5 years on my 91 
Jetta GTX 16V and I would say it's a great setup.  But now that I've had it 
for over 5 years I am getting quite annoyed with the stiffness, that's 
partly the reason why I want to sell the car.

I the H&R Race springs began to settle a bit after about a year but the ride 
hight is fine.
The handeling improved further when I added a neuspeed strutt bar, it took 
cornering to a whole new level.
I work at a Porsche dealership in Toronto, my car is much lower than average 
911 (new or old).

If you want to see pics of my car....

I'm a HUGE believer in the Shine Racing Service
suspension.  It's the *best* handling and riding
suspension for an A2 out there, period.

Strangely enough, I might be buying a 2 owner 71k
