Hmmm. I'm not certain, but I think the Driver is a CL with a GTI grille and arches. Certainly the engine was originally just the 75BHP 1.6 (like I had), then later the 90 Bhp 1.8. Whatever, the driver handles OK: of the roll is really bad, something is worn out. > hi > on a mk2 golf driver, does it use standard shock absorbers? or are > they uprated at all? mine are worn out and need replacing... lots of > body roll at the moment. not sure which ones i should replace with. > thanks. If they're the same as GTI, they should be Bilstein gas shocks. I've no idea if they actually are or not... >> hi >> on a mk2 golf driver, does it use standard shock absorbers? or are [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > If they're the same as GTI, they should be Bilstein gas shocks.
