Hi Guys,
Hoping to get some feedback for what I should be purchasing.
This has probably been covered in other threads but I couldn't find consistent info.
So I'm planning to upgrade my suspension as I feel my ride is very harsh.
It still has stock suspension at 111k.
I only recently bought the vehicle back in November, so I'm unsure if this is harsher than usual or just the typical, the feel doesn't really bother me but it would make me more comfortable knowing that my suspension is in good shape.
So I'm planning to get new struts to replace the stock ones as I've heard people say these degrade overtime. Either Koni str.t or Koni yellows, this is solely daily driver atm, no plans to track.
I'm not planning at the moment to get new springs as I don't mind stock GTi ride height but I would like the option down the road. Would riding stock springs on Konis and then switching to lowering springs (<1" drop) affect them negatively?
Also is there any additional components/tools I need to buy for this transition/installation? I've heard upper strut mounts, anything else?
