Hello all,
I'm starting the journey of modding my car and am starting with wheels, tires, suspension.
Car is 2015 (mk7) golf comfortline (1.8t)
163,000 km on the car.
Ive decided to buy some new aftermarket wheels but staying at 17" because i'm not changing the brake calipers just yet so I don't want them to look small.
Got my tires, INDY 500s.
My question lies within the suspension. I'm going to be using a set of coil overs because I'm wary of the current dampers and might as well go coil overs if i'm going to change them. I'm currently looking into SCALE coil overs.
While replacing those, I thought while I am down there I might as well look into changing out any worn out parts so I can have "fresh" suspension rather than having new coils and something else that I haven't replaced breaks.
My question is: what is there to replace in terms of suspension?
I'm not too mechanically savvy so i'm trying to learn. I'm concerned with things like bushings and other supportive parts that may be worn out after the driving and I want to basically rebuild the suspension.
Any ideas as to what specific parts I should look to replace? Obviously I'm going to have the car inspected by a more qualified person but anything I should tell them to look for specifically? Or anything I should outright change regardless?
Thanks
