Hey thanks for watching, everyone! One note about the shock dust boots that I've discovered in the months since I did this. The ones for those Konis don't seem to want to stay attached to the bump stop even though they're supposed to. I just recently resorted to using a zip tie around the top of them. Seems to be holding on a lot better so far. Just something to keep an eye on if you're using aftermarket shocks. The oem dust boots were way tighter and never fell off.
Awesome! That's why I like making these videos. One note about the shock dust boots that I've discovered in the months since I did this.

It's nice, pretty much exactly what I was looking for. My GTI is my daily driver, and the ride is just firm enough to handle some spirited driving without being uncomfortable or too "jolting" for daily driving. I also plan on replacing sway bars and couple other little things as well to round it out and make it even better.

This video was perfect! I’m replacing my rear shocks and just wrote everything down.

How are the ride and handling with the new springs and dampers?
