Default shocks

just fitted some std rs turbo gas shocks to my mk4 cabbie fitted perfect when it comes to springs make sure there for a cabriolet . if you get rs turbo 40mm springs thay will only lower your cabbie by 20mm cabbies are all ready 20 mm lower than std . ive fitted 40mm pi srings to my cabbie and it sits well nice and has a good firm ride
