Original cabby suspension wanted

Post

Back to the top
Hi,
I currently have a bilstein and Eibach lowered suspension on my 85 GTi cabby but I'm finding the ride too harsh and would like to return to the original set up. Does anyone have one to sell or recommend where I can buy it from?
Thanks

It could be who ever fitted the suspension kit did not fit shorter bump stops so you could be driving around on the rubber bump stops?

If you look underneath the front wheel arch and the bump stop and covers look like this then that could be why you find the ride to hard….

Shorter bump stops look like this and they are about 1/2 the length of the original rubber ones, they also sell a kit for the rear.
You can buy them on eBay as well.
