   Hello, I was just looking for some advice specific to my car.
   I currently have a spax vsx kit - lowered 40mm all round. I have upper and lower strut braces too.
   The rear of the car on the spax dampers seem to be a little bit too soft for my liking.
   Can anyone recommend some new rear shock that will stiffen up the back?
   Have been looking at the Bilstein shocks, but which ones will be the best for fast road/track use?
   Thanks,
   Jimbo.

   If you're just going for rears,
   
   then I'd go with some b8's and a 106 gti 24mm rear arb

   would change the front and rear at the same time tbh, that kits designed to run together.

   Yeh I would recommend some Bilstein B8's for front and rear and together with some faulkner 155lb springs. I've gone to this set up from a full spax kit and it's so much better. Perfect for fast road/ light track use as well
