     All the suspensions you listed well be excellent, however if you will 
     be driving on rough roads I would recommend the Bilstein shocks and 
     the Neuspeed springs or SPAX 30mm springs.  As far as a rear Upper  
     tie bar, it is not needed for the Jetta it already has one from the 
     factory in a steel support beam that runs between shock towers behind 
     the rear seats, check it  out.

I am looking to replace my factory suspension on my 97 GLX. I have heard 
SPAX, Koni, Bilsteins, Neuspeed, H&R, and some others..
     
Here is what I am looking for in a suspension:
     
My Enviroment: Lotsa Rain, Slippery Roads, Rough Roads, 80% spent Freeways
     
I am looking for something that will give me a alot more feeling of 
control, and lose the sway and loose front wheels feeling.
     
I plan on getting Autotech Front & Rear Sway Bar, AutoTech Upper Tie Strut 
(Front) Neuspeed (REAR) Upper tie Bar.
     
Now it's just what kinda of suspension has a good ride and good 
performance?
