MK1 Scirocco Coilover?
Posted: Mon May 20, 2024 6:18 pm
Hi, Did a search but came up short.
My 1981 Mk1 scirocco has all original suspension bits, and the rear struts are leaking. I was going to replace just the struts with OEM, but thought a coilover installation on all four corners might be a good thing to upgrade the entire platform and obtain some adjustability and better ride quality. I'm keeping the stock wheels and tires.
How straight forward is the replacement and installation of the springs and struts with coilovers? Any advise, tips, walkthroughs, etc?
What parts might I need besides just the coilovers?
Any recommendations for a kit? I found this one, which seems good and in the budget. Not looking for anything too racy, or more than an inch or two lower. https://raceland.com/product/volkswagen ... lover-kit/
Located in Canada, btw in case it matters for parts reco's.
Thanks everyone!
