i'm not positive on all of my suspension knowledge.  are shocks and struts basically the same thing?  if so, then you don't need shocks AND struts on any vehicle, right?  also, are coilovers just adjustable shocks/struts?  am i correct that the starquests have struts with coil springs on all four corners?  please forgive my stupidity....i'm trying to learn.   thanks, Brandon

i'm pondering KYB replacement struts and maybe a lowering spring set such as the Suspension Tech 1" kit.  anybody here done anything similiar?  what did you use?  can i stick with stock tire size if i lower it an inch or will i have to go lower profile?  what are the chances of scrubbing on the front if i'm running an 8" rim?   thanks, Brandon

I am modifying a header panel to look like same panel on 924 turbos or 924GTS's. I figure it should bring in some more air....I still have some finish grinding to do as well as fit the actual 924 turbo grills into each location. I figure since our cars look very similar to the 944, that this mod may look good.   http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/i_8praisit/vwp?.dir=/My+Photo+Album&.src=ph&.dnm=headerpanel.jpg&.view=t&.done=http%3A//photos.yahoo.com/bc/i_8praisit/lst%3F%26.dir=/My%2BPh

I replaced my temp gauge with a Cyberdyne digital gauge and had to disconect the the factory sensor ( the one on the right and below the thermostat ) and replaced the sensor itself . so now the auto trans won't go into overdrive , anyone know how to trick it so that it thinks theres still a hot sensor there ?  89 TSi Having a digital gauge shows some very intresting temperature patterns , see my other post on them ( Digital temp. patterns )
