Hello All, newbie to this forum as I just bought an 89 TSI SHP that was built by Adam, a member here for a while. I previously owned a 1983 Starion in 1986 but it was totaled when a lady turned in front of me...I always missed that car so I jumped at the chance when I saw one up for sale.
One thing I know I want to immediately replace is these horrible riding coil overs...it's like I'm in a go-cart with no suspension. Do I want it to handle well? Yes! At the expense of my kidneys and shaking the interior to death? No. I do not know how rare the SHP struts are but I would like to go back to the original or at least something close. Any help finding these would be appreciated. I posted in the parts wanted section and read through the lists of parts people are selling but did not see any.
Anyway, it's good to see a forum for these cars. I am into the JDM cars as I lived in Japan for 15 years and my wife is Japanese as well. I also own a car repair facility, we do it all from rebuilds, diag, paint body, glass, engines, transmissions, tires alignments...all of it. Elite Automotive Repair in Mountain Home Arkansas
Thanks!
