I am now searching for some advice on suspension replacement and don't really have the money to do extensive testing. I am finally restoring a VW GTI (84 Mk1)that I formally used for SOLO II and still has the original springs and bushings and some very old Tokico Illumia shocks. I have been tempted to go with coilovers and try some lowering and corner balancing but have been warned away from lowering a simple strut front suspension beacuse this would destroy the front end geometry.
Will a moderate reduction in ride height (1-1 1/2") cause more roll (change in roll center) and what is the standard solution for most road racers that don't competely revise/replace their front suspension?
