Suspension

Looks like a good bit of kit.
I have h&r anti roll bars as well loads of superpro bushes, alloys arms, abj, list goes on and on lol.
Exspensive hobby this.

Yeah I have the same super pro ALK alloy bones too and yes bm eur expensive hobby but beats being on drugs or drinking 
Can't believe how pricey the springs alone cost @ £213.00 

[Stig_gti]

Agree what springs cost that?.

I had eibach sportlines on my last tdi golf and they never scraped on any speed bumps. They were just a little bit stiffer thats all. But maybe gti shocks are different to tdi ones which is why they were ok on speed bumps

The H&R I have and that's without shock absorbers and mount etc

Yeah I think the gti will be a lot lower as my car already looks low from the signiture picture

Decisions decisions 
Are have a good think about it don’t want to waste anymore money.

I need news rear springs and shocks seem shot on the front end as getting way too much dip so will bang them on and hope for the best 
If I no likey then I'll sell them

Trail and error sometimes especially with suspension. What people find acceptable other’s don’t. Fingers crossed for you your love this setup that you install.

Yep, suspension is a pain. 

If you live in London, I would put the standard springs back on for now.  Imo, it's only worth messing with the suspension if you can regularly blast the car around some country roads for fun, otherwise lowering and stiffening can be a pain in the hoop in towns and cities.

Yh totally agree reason for suspension mods to help get the power down and for trackdays. And just general driving feel, maybe just move out of the city would be an easier option.

I drove around London with my tt 40mm drop with a Votex spoiler and LCR splitter for nearly two years so hoping it's the same with the golf 
You can see from both my cars together how low the tt is and golf being standard ride height

It's manageable if you're careful, but I find it quite embarrassing having to crawl over a speed hump.....and my Golf isn't even VIP'd!

With the standard suspension I could barrel over humps surprisingly fast.  Coilovers......no chance unless I want to head butt the roof

[r5gtt]

Yeah mate, I'm usually careful going over bumps as long as I see it because some just jump out at night and you think w* where did that come from  as it's not a van or bus but I do get your point
