Re: [VWoT] The Bilstein Slayer

["Phil Griffin" <phillip.griffin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The yellows on the front of my GTI have been fine for three years now with
H&R race springs and shortened bump stops. I am running Mk 3 parts on a Mk2
though, not the other way 'round. Anyway, it works for me. Now I just need a
dumped E30 suspension.
