Bilstein struts n shocks?

[raveracer77 at yahoo.ca (Rave Racer 77)]

    I don't know how I missed this thread.  IMHO I feel that unless you're 
racing the Bilsteins are overkill.  They have a very hard setup for track 
use but it's harsh for daily driving for the price.  They also have a sport 
setup but I've seen other sets that... well Bilsteins are better but I've 
never been able to justify the price when a cup kit is everything for a 
better value.  I like the H&R cup kit, but I have Weitech (sp?) in my 91 GLI 
and they're stiff without being horrible and low without being unusable on 
city streets.  Honestly they came with the car when I bought it and I would 
never have looked at them otherwise, but I do like them.  All I know is that 
they're Weitech.

Don't know about best bang for buck, since all I've ever had in my 'Roc is 
Bilsteins, but I have no complaints with those.

My philosophy is don't worry about bang-for-buck; just get the good stuff 
and be done with it.  That way you aren't second-guessing yourself every 
time you turn the key.

  I'm thinking of putting some Bilsteins on my 86 Jetta GLI?

  I'm looking for a tight ride.  Upgrading the car slowly and this year I 
think it's gonna get some suspension work done. I have a upper tie bar to 
install also.

  Anybody got any input on the best bang for the $$$ on struts n shocks?

  Right now I'm toying with either HD or Sports.  I've got stock springs for 
now with no added stiffness underneath or in back.  Riding like a boat now 
though so the shocks n struts gotta go this year. 8-)

  Thanks
  David
