hey all. I've been doing some searching. What I'm finding is mostly centered around the FWD 2.0t. So wanted to specifically ask the VR6 4Motion knowledge folks here for some advice / options please.
My '09 is pushing though corners and is becoming exceptional soft in the front. I'm sure due to the 109K on the ODO and the extra weight of the VR6 and transfer case etc.
I'm looking to upgrade to either springs and shocks or a coilover. This is my daily driver. Looking to potentially lower a bit and stiffen it up. What I'm really looking for is to balance the front and rear a little more. I'd rather have the ride a touch more firm than soft. I'm a old school Mk1 and Mk2 Jetta guy at heart and also currently drive a Mk1 TT. I'd like to say I prefer "firm, but not harsh." I also prefer the lowering to be "subtle but intentional looking."
I'm not looking to drop $1500.
I'm not looking for air suspension in any way, shape or form.
I'm thinking the Eibach pro-Kit with Bilstiens kit found here is a good option: http://www.ajusa.com/Bilstein-46-184399-B12-Pro-Kit-Suspension-Kit-acb2b4.html Unless there is an adjustable shock out there that's comparable in price point. Or a coilover that's good quality for a couple hundred more.
What other options are out there and what are the general consensus on build quality and ride quality?
Thanks all!
