This was my experience as well. I thought they were great compared to
stock. Then when I upgraded again to the NS Race springs and Koni's, I
had de-ja-vu all over again. I should of just bought the Koni's and NS
Race springs from the get go. Could of saved myself some cash.

WHAT? Id like to know WHO at Velocity said that? Ive never driven a
Bilstein equipped car that wasn't stiffer (Even with just the NS Sports
springs) than my Koni's at full soft. (Including Jetta's. Corrado's and
at least one GTi.)
Hmm, interesting.
