Hi guys I have a mk6 golf gti with acc/dcc what everyone you call it.
Ideally want to lower the car so need some advise on springs which is the best to work with the acc/dcc.
I will also be fitting arbs any recommendations on which ones and sizes will be great.

H&R's are always a good option, a lot will depend on how low you want to go?

I am in the same boat myself with wanting to lower mine and have acc/dcc
Have heard good things about H&R springs but personally never tried them.
Has anyone got pictures of their MK6 gti on springs so can see on what sort of drop springs gives

I need mine I live in London and road humps everywhere and the roads are rough so comfort comes in handy now and then.
