I agree the oil dampened inserts work much better than the gas charged ones. 944 gas charged inserts barely jounce at all in a 1303. The front is almost rock-solid with them in use. Actually, though, either one has more resistance than a 75-125lb coil spring can effectively use. I found that the static height of the front end was never consistent with 944 hydraulic-only inserts. The springs couldn't push against the dampers hard enough to return to the same static ride height every time I came to a stop.

I decided to use 1303 struts. Which golf strut inserts fit 1303 struts? I am making them adjustable coilovers but I need a shorter strut insert. I'm just not sure if its the A1 or A2 jetta. Thanks for the help guys.

use mk1 golf strut, they two inch shorter and have adjustable camber. if your cutting off spring platforms anyway.
