RE: exhaust studs or bolts? and suspension

["Denny Maula" <DMaula@gordonrees.com>]

I've only had experience with the KYB AGX adjustables. I know they're
out of your price range, but The adjustablity was fantastic and they
were a great budget compression adj. strut.  They survived 2+ years on
groun controls including a number of autox events and horrible san diego
roads.

I say spend the money the first time and get it right. I was constaly
trying out new suspension setups till I ran that particular setup.

there, but we all know most lux cars have really soft spring rates.

Just my 2 cents.

Find a used blown set of bilsteins and have them revalved?

Subject: exhaust studs or bolts? and suspension


Ok when I pulled the motor for my 82 out of the 91 GTI and was removing
the exhaust I broke/stripped ect a few of the studs and was wondering
what to use when I put it in Project 82? I was thinking about using
bolts because they wouldn't have exposed threads to rust/corrode, and
antisieze would stay better. Also, if i go this route what is the thread
on these so I get the right bolts. Or if I was to use studs where can I
get new ones?

Ok now for my suspension question. Has anyone tried the KYB GR2's on a
MKII? I was thinking about them because they are reasonably price from
TireRack and I have liked the KYB's I have had in the past. Plus the
budget I am one won't allow me to spend much more than $200 if that one
shocks and struts. OH, I am using Nuespeed 16V lowering springs just for
a little reference.
