...are there any springs or coil overs readily available that fit?
Looking at one on Boxing day, looks pretty tidy but needs slammed and rims...not keen on cutting the springs, is there something else I can use? Like springs off a later 200 by chance?

Sweet...that solves half the issue.
Any compatible rear springs? I'd rather not cut them if I can help it.

The Golf isn't well and needs a bit if surgery (clutch, engine, speedo, other electrics...) so was going to find a cheap retro for a wee while... |
