I don't know about the rough ride... My best friend's 1.8t GTI rides on Racing Hart 19" rollers... and rides just sweet... I have a feeling the chassis on his 2001 GTI with all the braces he added is so much stiffer than the one on our cars that the suspension gets to work much better. Bilstein PSS9 coilovers don't hurt either.
I think us Contique owners might not have hit the best setup yet... Maybe the Leda kit would work well?? Same price as the PSS9...
