Which lowering springs for Edition 30?

[George]

I've tried searching, but not found much. I want to lose the arch gap on my Edition 30, I've seen that Eibachs and H&Rs seem to be the most popular choices.

What is the ride like with each of these? I'm really happy with the standard ride and don't want to lose it if I can get away with it.

Also does anyone have any side on photos of their 3dr Edition 30s on either of these springs please?

Thanks

George

I'd also consider the VWR springs...

I have -20mm AP (VWR) springs on mine and very happy with them, just the right drop for me and ride quality is better than standard imo

The H+R's seem to be growing in popularity and are massive around the rest of the world.

They are good quality, and always seem to make the ride better whilst also improving cornering.

They look great, I take it they are the same kit as this?

Beddie,

your car is sitting just perfect IMO.  You have vwr springs in yours, are they exactly the same as the ap ones, it's just any gti's I've seen with the ap springs seem to sit higher at the back than yours does!

They ain't cheap, I rang vwr a while back £200 ex vat.  But if they handle well and give the desired drop then it's money we'll spent

H&r have a great name but judging from pics the h&r seem to sit very low at the rear, though this could just be the angle of the pics I've seen

Does anyone have straight side on pics of the h&r's and eibach sportlines?

Yeah i have the VWR springs on mine and you are right about them not being cheap, i paid £206 inc vat almost 2 years ago!

They came in AP blue and the codes painted on the springs were an exact match to the codes that AP listed for their -20mm kit so it does seem they are one and the same with the AP ones being a good bit cheaper... 

[George]

APs look like an option then!

Any photos of ED30s on H&Rs or Eibachs please?

Thanks
