lowering

[tony_danza]

Not entirely sure, he's relaunching the site soon with a fresh platform so it's a bit choppy. Had a look on H&R's US site and there's 3 types of dropped spring listed, seems to tie in.

Eibach pro lower 20mm and Eibach sportline lower 40mm iirc.

40mm sounds better

[joesgti]

i thought h&r did a 60mm drop?? thats what id go with 

[SteveS]

i would like to get over speed bumps.. plus wouldnt this cause the suspention to bottom out..

[CarrG]

60mm seems a bit OT, well it would be where i live. My front spoiler would be dead with 5mins.

I am also looking for some springs and currently looking at the Eibach's.

As the ED30 is already a little lower would the 40mm ones not cause problems with speed humps or is this about the correct drop?

As the springs cost about £120-130 and fitted costs seem to be around £300 what is actually involved in fitting them.  Excuse my ignorance but my local mechanic has said he will fit them and I want to make sure he does them right!

Sorry my mistake, still learning!  I read a review which said that the ED30 was slightly lower than the GTI but when looking a different cars I could never see it, now I know why.

So 40mm would be ok without causing any issues?

[joesgti]

40mm would be fine, you may need to remove the 2 screws inside the arches and tuck the arch liner up behind the mounts, but thats literally a 10 min job.

Same as any car, simply removing them from the struts at the front and replacing them, the rear is even easier.
