Hello folks
just been reading thru this thread.

your car is looking very nice.

i'm about to buy my first mk5 gti and was planning to use the Eibach Sportline springs with standard gti shocks, but understand the drop to be only 35mm ish. i probably want to go a little lower, but not coilovers at this stage.

You said earlier on that you've gone for the H&R springs, as they get it a little closer to the ground - but how do they compare on ride / handling and cost versus the Eibach s/line?

Hope you can help a newbie out and sorry for just diving in on your thread like this.

cheers

Iv'e ran an Edition 30 with the Eibach's and an R32 with the H&R's and I couldn't split the two in terms of ride comfort. If anything the H&R's were a tad harder but not by much and it doesn't make the ride uncomfortable in any way.

Your other alternative is to go straight for AP coilies as these are great value for money!(can be supplied and fitted by VWR Milton Keynes) 

Sorry about going OT Rob!

Did you change just the grill Rob or  the whole bumper..look into doing it to mine

Full bumper change Andy! 

another mod to the never endind list

cheers fella, thanks for the information.

i'm not sure about coilovers yet - i don't do track days at the minute and the roads are so bumpy around me I might not spend any time with tyres on tarmac if i uprated the damping.

which H&R springs are people using - the drop on Rob's car looks mint.

Rob, how much lower do you think it sits overall, now that it's settled?

thanks

That is VAG porn Rob 

I absolutely rear end those wheels. I've a genuine set 7.5x18" and I thought they looked good on my car!...
They suit the black immensely. Are you happy with the ride?

Love the front profile with the grill too  Tip top.
