Good afternoon all. It's a tired topic and has been debated here on numerous occasions. So apologies for asking again. My '89 standard 1.6 gti is in need of shock replacements. I am finally getting around to it, as I've spent last 2 years slowly improving her. The shocks on it seem very old, could well be oe stock. Can anyone please give me advice on which shocks to put on car. She is completely standard road only car. Not used for any racing. Will never see a track and I wish to keep ride as close to standard as possible. Car is used as a fun drive wherever I Iike to go. Back roads are the usual routes taken.No lowering or rock hard ride would be a plus. Was thinking of either KYB or Bilstein B4. Any advice would be gratefully accepted.
