edit: i just wanted to say thanks to Aaron at Cascade (aka: Boraparts). in my last post i had a couple of pics of how my car was sitting after the suspension rebuild. the rear end was quite low and the springs were mostly compressed...needless to say the ride wasn't great. after some back and forth discussion Aaron sent me GTI rear springs free of charge, he covered shipping, duties, and the extra cost of the springs (they were $40 more than what i had originally purchased). I installed them and the ride is much improved. the rear end sits similar to a stock golf, but i expect it to settle a little.
i know Cascade has a lot of happy customers here, but i just wanted to share my personal experience. i will definitely be buying from Cascade again when the time comes.
well, i finally bit the bullet and purchased everything i need to redo the suspension on my golf (five speed). i have attached lists of my purchase from roseland and boraparts. if i'm missing anything let me know. i bought the car with 80,000km. it now has 145,000km. the suspension is totally shot. the car was in newfoundland for most of its life until i moved to bc. for those of you that don't know newfoundland is notorious for road salt in the winter, needless to say bc is a much more car friendly environment. it is stock except for the egr/egr cooler delete i did a couples months ago when i cleaned the intake. i don't own a lot of the vw specific tools needed, but i hope to get by with what i have in terms of tools. i gave the car to my girlfriend after i bought a toyota tundra, it was a sad day. but i still drive it and it would be a shame to let this great little car fall to pieces.
anyways, i'm sure i'll have lots of questions once i get started. so feel free to give your two cents.
