Re: simple questions from a novice

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@gsinet.net>]

The MkII's are the second body style, short for "Mark Two". The MkI's are the
earlier body style.
Those wheels are called GTi wheels by most people.
Sport stuff:
Neuspeed, Autotech, Techtonics, ABD, Eurosport, H&H, etc....
Springs: HOR, H&R, Eibach
Shocks: Bilstein, Boge, Spax, Koni

These are just manufacturers of sport stuff for VW's, I'm not plugging any of
them in particular....
    HTH! (hope that helps)
