Rears take about 30mins, I got a garage to do the fronts, they had a nightmare trying to get the strut out, so I'm glad I didnt attempt it.
heres a guide off the net http://www.swankmonkey.com/vw/jetta/2006/suspension/

Same as stock. Thats why I didnt want to go down the coilover route, my last car was horrific on KWs. The eibach  pro kit is stiffer than the sportline kit, so make sure you get the right one if you want a comfy ride :happy2:

So you think that H R springs are perfect to take a few MM off and still keep same ride?

No idea, I bought eibach sportlines!!!
you might get an extra 3mm with the H&R's, but I'm sure they're supposed to be stiffer, and cost an extra £85. I couldnt justify £85 for 3mm :popcornsoda:
When my dampers die anyway, I'll be getting some Koni FSD's or H&R B8's, these springs are matched to go with the B8's anyway in the B12 Kit, so youre money at the end of the day.

Sportlines are lower

Very nice springs, although, not quite low enough for me now  :chicken:



Sportlines on ^^
