Incorrect, Eibach springs are progresive. Have a look on their website.


Ok, as we see you are not willing to learn. I don't understand such stupidity.
Otherwise you'd have read and understood this:


All Eibach springs for Mk.V and Mk.VI are linear. Eibach Pro are linear, Eibach Sportline
are linear and Volkswagen OE by Eibach are linear.
Don't get fooled when Eibach claims they are 'progressive' as they are not.


I had many Mk.5 Eibach springs in my own hands and I am able to recognize
if they are linear or progressive. It's obvious and easy to see.

But talking to pigheaded is pointless . . . .

Wasn't looking to get into a pointless bitchy arguments that doesn't solve anything. Only wanted to try and help out with regards to what springs work on the TTRS damper as is my side of knowledge. Didn't want this to happen  :fighting2:

Was told that the eibach springs have some progressive nature as listed on their website.

Don't get me wrong.  :wink:

It's just I often read wrong information on progressive vs. linear on forums.
This is caused by some misleading prosa on the manufacturer's website based
on marketing.
Marketing needs to sell products and so they claim what people like to read.
''Progressive'' sounds superior to most people, so they claim their springs so.

There's some misleading also as always, but quite informative though.
There's even more information in the Mk.V section as well.
