Recommended aftermarket suspension setups

Featured Replies

I have a bog standard mk3. At it's last MOT, one of the recommendations from the tester was to replace the front suspension due to corrosion. I bought the polo off ebay for £300 and can't stress how fucking good the car is. I've driven it around the Highlands, back and forth down the A1 countless times, to Glastonbury and back and it's NEVER missed a beat. It's on 105000 miles now. If i fill it up at Newcastle and drive at 60mph all the way to essex it still has a third of a tank left when i get there, so you can understand why i don't see the point in replacing it. I know how good VW's are as my dad always had mk2 golf's at one point, that's why i bought it but i wasn't expecting to be as pleased as i am with it.

So the thing is that i want to do it up a bit, not boy racer it, just make it better to drive and get rid of a few knocks and rattles.

I'm looking for your recommendations on suspension setups. I don't want to drop it on the floor but just get something better than standard and replace rusty wishbones, axle, track control arms etc etc etc. Are there any improvements to rubbers and bushes that are worth it?

I've spotted these suspension kits on ebay from a german user but for all i knew they could be wank. They're called 'Bad Grip' or something like that. Shite? Decent? I know Boge are pretty good, any recommendations for suppliers or alternatives?
