Usually u can pick up eibach sport lines for under 100 in the for sale section but that means waiting lol I'd add the extra and buy some lowtec springs from madeone.com I have them on my r32 and the stance is perfect only reason I want coilovers is to stiffen it up as the springs are still as comfortable as stock

I have just fitted Eibach Sportlines to my GTI.

Nice drop and still factory ride comfort.

They are fine for my budget.

Cost about £140 delivered from Awesome

Surely save your £100 and get your full set up earlier as you will have more in the kitty?  :stupid:  :happy2:
