VW Racer - Suspension set-up?

[pb3vr6 at yahoo.com (Tonee Northam)]

I rode with Eric at Treffen and all I can say it DAMN, that car handled awesome! Whatever he's running would be the way to go. The only input I have is on my A4 GTI, stock 23mm front sway with a 28mm adjustable rear H&R sway, but now when I jack up the car the entire rear end is off the ground.

A short while later, I installed a set of A2 H&R/Neuspeed Race springs 
on my car, and now it's so firmly sprung (and dropped 1.5"), there is 
almost no body roll at all. I still have fairly tame shocks (new Spax 
in front, stock Boges in the rear), and after I adjusted my alignment to 
correct for the toe out when I lowered it, it's very planted. I run 
stock sway bars front and rear. Last I heard, Eric Person was running 
Koni Yellows with no front bar, he seemed to like his setup, he might be 
of help, too.
