I am restoring a 1981 Rabbit Convertible and have reached the point of doing the suspension.

Can any of you seasoned veterans advise me on the best options. I want a reasonably confortable ride but a sporty suspension package. Here are my questions:

Should I use lowering srpings?

Adjustable struts/shocks or HD or Sport?(cost vs performance vs ride)

Do I need to replace strut bearings while I'm at it?

Where to buy?

Thanks.
