Default Best Mk3/4 suspension?
Any reccomendations?
For my daily driver..... not mega power and fancy something not too hard.

Spotted Jamex do kits for £179! Anyone tried these?

Do Eibach do anything for MK3's?

Easily the best for a daily road car IMO, and not too expensive

Ordered a set of Spax...... always fancied trying Eibach, but very hard to find for sale and usually double the price of other springs I'm sure!

Will see how I get on with the Spax......
