On my old mk1 ITB car I ran Koni Yellows with 550# front and 400# rear. The setup felt ok to me and I never blew out a strut..

On my mk3 I went with a nicer setup. I have Bilstein PSS9 coilovers (the B16 suspension on Bildon.com). I am however sending them into the Cali. service center to have re-valved for the new Hyper coils and hydrolic perches.

I have just about $550 into each corner with this setup and Just about $300 per corner in the rabbit.


Good Luck
