Suspension Question/Recomendation

[rob.luhrs@sitescape.com (Robert Luhrs)]

This is actually for my dad.. he has an 88 16v and says this:

What would you recommend for a new suspension fo rmy Scirocco? 
The shocks are getting weak and it would be a good time to 
upgrade.
I would like to have good handling without getting a punnishing ride 
or lowering the car too much (if at all). As far as I know, the 
suspension is stock now. 

Any suggestions?  Speaking from experience, he likes the car to 
handle about as well as possible without being punishing.. his first 
car was a bmw 2002, thena daimler Sp250, then a euro spec Opel 
GT, and now a 88 16v 'roc, so all the cars have been pretty damn 
sporty, if that helps at all....

Thanks for any help!
