Candy, a few people on here have done a 20 mil drop, and have been really disappointed expecting it to look different but not able to even notice any drop.  :smiley:
the 40 mil springs set the GTI ride height perfectly imo  :wink:
just my two penneth  :smiley:

i got 10 mm spacers on the back too , how much would you want for them ? when ?  red robin offered me his but i have to pay some one to fit them so worked out cheaper to buy new cause no one really wanted to fit used springs    do they drop a full 40 mm  ? from std ed 30 height ?

IMO anything under 40mm isn't worth bothering with, because you will struggle to notice the difference, just bare in mind that performance springs on standard shocks, can shorten the life of the shocks.

I've had performance shocks and springs before (Eibach and H&R), but I'll always go for coilovers from now on, just a much better solution, with the option to alter height.

40mm drop - would that cause any problems with a fully loaded (ie 5-people + luggage) going over speed bumps or hard cornering?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
