GTI air suspension - shorter shocks?

Hi guys,

First forum thread!

I recently bagged my GTI and the rear wont sit fully down because my standard shocks are so long.

Options in my head are:

Buy sport/coilover shocks

or

I have read about Corsa B rear shocks are very short and fit Lupo's.

My worry is which is best for handling, comfort etc as I drive with my car at different heights. Most of the time near enough standard height due to the bad roads I live on but just want the rear to sit lower when aired out when parked.

What have others done in this situation?

Any help would be great,

Patric

Hi Patric

ill start by saying its shame when people take a good name and ruin it by forgetting to put a letter on the end ...

but yes you can do either of those options, corsa B shock will allow you to go lower when aired out but restrict your lift, where as a good set of coiler shocks will allow you to lift higher than standard height, and air out to tuck 15" rims.

i run AP rear shocks on my car and I've got airlift rear bags and i can tuck 15".

Thanks

Patrick (spelt with a K because its the right way)
