For shocks I will need to know if you have sealed struts.  Seems they where used 90-92.

OK, lots of options.  I will list them out.  For the most part this would all be factory order stuff.  Two week delivery and it would need be a credit card deal.  I am assuming the non-sealed struts, fits all Jettas 85-92.

On the high end would be Eibach's Coil over Shock System.  This is a new to the market system from them.  Part number 8509.710 your cost $1072.50.  Front height adjustable 1.2 - 3.0 inches and the rear is .8 - 2.0 inches.

B&G Sport Suspension Speed Sensitive coil over system is part number GF96002 and would cost $749.70.  Both ends are adjustable 1.3 - 3.5 inches.

Tokico offers two systems that have shocks and springs together as one part number.  Their dampening adjustable system, Illumina, is part number ILK220 and costs $486.29.  This kit offers a 1.25 inch drop.  Their non-adjustable kit is HPK219 and costs $308.86 and offers the same 1.25 drop.

That is what I offer for complete kits.  We could also make a "kit".  Tokico is the only comapny I deal with that has shocks and struts.   Adjustable shocks/struts are BZ1093 on the front and BU2769 for the rear and cost $103.83 each and $93.31 each.  The non-adjustable, which is what I bought, are part numbers HZ1093 and HU2769 and cost $51.26 each and $53.89 each.

There are several options for coil spring kits.  Eibach sportline is part number 4.2085 and costs $210.54.  It offers a 1.5 drop front and rear.  Eibach does offer a 1 inch kit, but I got the impression you want more.  B&G offers two kits.  Their first kit offers a 1.6 drop and is part number 961016 and costs $136.26.  Their other kit offers a 2.5 drop and is part number 961014 and costs the same.  B&G is the brand I bought.  Lastly, Suspension Techiques, owned by Beltech, offers a spring kit that drops the car 1.3 inches.  Part number 63040 costs $142.88.

The Tokico kits are a great deal.  If you add up the price of the shocks you will notice that the springs are almost "free".  I understand that Eibach makes their springs.

After you digest this info I can provide you some links to any supplier that you may more questions about.

Let me know.
