What to replace when putting new Springs on??

[boab 0]

As my car is old and im assuming if i change the springs to lower the car, that i may also benifit from renenwing other parts of suspension etc, what exactly would i be looking to change and replace??

You want to fit sports dampers to go with the lowering springs, new rear bumpstops and front top mounts at minimum.

I did almost the same thing, I've ordered a new lowered suspension and the meaning was that you have to use parts of the original suspension tot mount the lowered suspension. So I've made a list with ETKA of parts that I need to mount the new suspension.

 

 

I've got an complete new suspension under the car and it drives very well.

Im sure most of the front bushes would need replacing if the car is very old. New wishbones with poly bushes is a good start, steering tie rods can be fairly worn also if they are the original ones on the car.

This is not everything, some parts like the rubber mounts front&rear aren't from VW, they're from Monroe. The bumpstops and protection caps are also aftermarket parts. This stuf is 3 times cheaper than original parts and they're from the same quality.

 

Ps : The list is for a 1990 Corrado G60.

Hope rear bushes are on there too, they are a real Corrado weakpoint and affect how the car handles to a large extent. :)

No joke to fit the VW ones, easier fit the poly’s ;)

front wishbone front bush (bonded rubber mounting) 357 407 182 8.09 + VAT *2

need to add 2 drop links to that, plus their rubber wishbone mounting doughnuts *4 and probably suspension top mounts

 

parts for a 1990 16v, most should be same for G60.
