    I know this thread has been inactive for a while, but checked springloaded and they still stock the shocks [:)]. Does anyone know where you can get springs for the shocks??

    No I am not,

    Compared to the normal 2wd Golf2 Market, the G2 Syncro market is is a very specialised niche market when you are looking for Syncro only parts,

    the G2 Country market is a niche within a niche, so is even more difficult to find the correct parts for.

    that’s something I have learnt very fast. In the short time I have owned my country.
    Thankfully though engineering has moved on, I have spoken to a couple of companies that manufacture springs, if I send my old springs they can reproduce and guarantee their work for a fraction of the price of NOS and dealer parts.
    I think I will go this route, remanufactured springs, Bilstien shocks and factory mounting rubbers.
    My next job is full stainless exhaust including manifold. After that it is suspension so I will take lots of pics and post also give my thoughts on the final ride quality

    Was at my local GSF yesterday and the guy behind the counter remembered that they used to stock shocks by KYB for the golf country
    I checked their catalogue and they have them listed

    It will give them a call tomorrow to check on prices and availability
