Re: Bilstein or Koni?

[Tech Ci <techci@voyager.net>]

I current setup on my gti 87' is
Koni yellows' with neuspeed sport springs
I have to say they are alot better than my Jetta 88' which has boge turbo
gas and suspension tech springs
Handles alot better in corners
I havnt tried full stiff yet since i got them I will let ya know
