UPRATED SUSPENSION ON MK5 TRANNY

[krazydave]

Hi all,
I see alot of ads saying trannies with uprated suspension.
I am a mobile valeter so carry alot of weight so uprating my suspension would be great.
Has anyone any ideas on how i can 'uprate' mine?

No matter what you do to the suspension, you are still not legally allowed to carry more than what your vin plate states
What model do you have 150/190

Hi andyg
My tranny is a 100swb and i carry 350 ltrs of water most of the time

350 litres doesn't seem that much to me
Any one know how much that weighs

i just think the back needs to be lifted up abit so whats the best thing to do ,put 150 leafs on it ? or 190? or what about the shocks? if anyone has done it

190's would stiffen her up abit.

Not sure what the effect would be on the handling though.
