Suspension Recommendation

(1/2) > >>

Smithy1222:
Hi all,

I need to replace my suspension due to a blown shock, but annoyingly due to insurance I cant get an aftermarket suspension kit as it just adds too much to my premium. Where do people recommend getting original OEM suspension from? Are the usual GSF / Euro Car Parts the best or are there any good websites which sell a complete kit? I am struggling to find out the GTI spring spec as I dont want to accidentally install base model springs!

Thanks

Hi, I have this saved in my phone as I was going to do similar and replace my suspension with oem parts.

Front shock Sachs 317579
Rear shock Sachs 310950

Front spring Sachs 993167
Rear spring Sachs 994632

Top mounts - Lemforder

Ball joints - Lemforder

S3 control arm bushes (Instead of anti lift kit)

Sorry don’t have part numbers for some of it. I was looking on Autodoc for the springs and shocks and they seemed to be priced reasonably.

MKVASMR:
The rear springs may differ depending on if you have a trailor coupler.

Another option would be going with Bilstein B4 sport OEM replacement. Apparently about 5-10% stiffer than OEM and it's a nice little upgrade. Cant speak for Sachs shocks cause I went with KYB at first but it might as well have welded the old ones and would have still been more comfortable..

Can recommend the Bilstein's a lot tho. Have had them for the past 10k km and they are quite comfortable

Lewo:
Another b4 recommendation here.
look at sellers on Ebay & Autodoc.  :happy2:
