Good suspension setup for a cabby

Looking for a nice suspension setup that will drop my car without making the ride to bumpy. just looking to get rid of the wheel gap I'm not looking to scrape my exhaust on the ground. I have Neuspeed race springs and Koni Reds on my golf, that dropped it about a good 2 inches. The ride is really rough though i don't want to put the cab through that kind of abuse.

Alright I will look into both of those, I wanna try to stay away from neuspeed though. I find that their springs start to sag really quickly.

hard to go wrong with the Bilstein/H&R combo as well. Soft sport springs give a nice drop, nice ride when coupled with the bil's.

I was gonna go with H&S Soft Sports Springs... But shouldBilstein all the way around??Are those an average set of shocks and struts? What are an average set of struts and shocks??? I just want to car to sit a little bit lower, and I need to replace at least the rear shocks.. ass end is starting to sag a pretty good amount.

Curious about which Bilstein you might recommend. I just bought a set of H&R springs and thought since I have the shocks out I might as well replace them too. I was thinking the Bilstein HD's.

H&R's on mine with Konis. Not sure which models as they were on my 82 'rocco before I liberated 'em, but I dropped 2" after the install. You can see the difference in the pictures section under "twins".

Nice tight feel, though a bit harsh on the potholes.

Here they are way too plentiful!
