Re: Boge/Hor Suspension on Ebay

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

ST's are the first springs I have ever bought for my car. I had them on my 
Rabbit (RIP) and have since put them on my 'Roc. I like them very much. They 
are pretty stiff , but I dont mind. They dont seem too bad. I did however, 
lower the spring perches in the front cause the rear end sat too low with 
the speaker box I had in my Rabbit (2 15"s). I have no complaints. BTW I 
have Bilsteins struts. I like the ride, but the sway bar issue probably has 
alot to do with the ride as well. HTH
