hi all, got a mk2 8v gti and its done around 100k now.
the suspension is getting really saggy i think its on its original kit
is it worth fixing/replacing or simply should i buy a golf which is sorted ?

100k is nothing on an 8v gti! Have a look around and your find that you can get both standard and aftermarket uprated options very cheaply!

I don't know about you but I hate spending money on replacing standard parts...so whenever something needs replacing I always make sure I get something uprated and aftermarket!

Depends on how happy you are with the rest of the car...I tend to this ^^^ though, upgrading wherever I possibly can. If you're not happy with the rest of the car, scrapyard bits will do before you sell it and buy something else.
