Just finished fitting my AP springs and dampers. First impressions are very good although word to the wise! It had #$it jom coilovers on it beforehand and so obviously needed spring cups for all four shocks! Don't be a tw@t like me and find yourself with the car jacked and having cut through the spring, trawling through your local scrap yard looking for spring cups!! Although I did make an interesting discovery. .polo 6n rear cups are identical to golf mk2/corrado ones! Lucky for me they actually had a mk 2! in so got the fronts (will be replaced with new ones still available from vw £22.50 each) so got them in and it's like night and day! While I know they are far from the cream de la cream £275 you can't really expect them to be earth shattering but I do like them good lift off oversteer and firm not tho hard or crashey and give a positive feel now I just need to sort the outer 100 things that are wrong! Shame I didn't get it ready for dub freeze. .ah well next year eh!

Just bought a beautiful cream interior for my G60 but I'm not sure if VW ever put cream in the G60? Mines an early one so that certainly wasn't an option at the time but I wonder if any of the later ones came in cream leather or was it just the storm vr's??

Hi Dox will have to look out for you mate I live in stone and the G60 isn't my daily what's your corrados colour? Mines blue and loud very 🔊 😀

On reflection my comments were a bit misplaced, I was really getting at the fact that some idiot has ruined the G60 by putting cheap jom coilovers on slammed to the deck and totally wreaked the floor pan, sump, bits of the sill and the ride. I have no doubt if you spend some dosh on a proper set of coilovers it will give fantastic results albeit with a lot of fine tuning.

Just returned to corrado ownership after some time off, a much unloved G60 came up locally (Newcastle under Lyme) and I just couldn't resist any more. The poor little thing had been badly abused my several poor owners lowerd so low that the tie bars have worn a Grove in the inside arch! I don't want to offend any one using coilovers but your are wrong.. Very very wrong! Vw didn't spend years and millions in developing the corrado for some idiot to come along and think "I know what will improve this car! £300 worth of **** suspension " anyway rant over (for now) it has got some good things on it stage 4 with jabba documented and a bigger intercooler. Although it's never going to be stock again.. I'm left with a quandary 1, carry on modified route and make it mine 2,full race strip rollcage track day weapon 3,synchro conversion Thought please....
