It's 100% your shocks. Get some Bilstein touring shocks, or Konis and you'll bet set.

Pros: better shocks

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Monroe is not a bad thing. Saleen used the Formula GP's until they started producing thier own. I have them on my Camaro, among other things, and it pulls .88 G's on the skidpad.

Pros: Pulls .88 G's

Cons: not a bad thing

Vehicle: Chevrolet Camaro

I'm almost positive that the standard Mk4 Bilstein sports will work fine... They are perfect for the drop you get with H&R springs so it seems they be a perfect swap out with the 337's 1" inch drop.

Pros: perfect for the drop

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

A good starting point would be Sport Springs (Neuspeed Sport, H&R Sport) with Bilstein or Koni Adjustable shocks. The shocks will be the most expensive, but remember that they'll outlast the originals!

Pros: outlast the originals

Cons: most expensive

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

I think for the NS SofSports, the Bilstein HD's would actually be a decent, if slightly firm match. The SofSports, contrary to their name, are not soft springs. They are 30-45% stiffer than stock.

Pros: decent, slightly firm match

Cons: not soft springs

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta
