So where are the after pictures.  :smiley:
:grin:

Excellent drop. How many mm?

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

Didn't measure bud, but the Eibach website states around 40mm. Only went on yesterday so still some settling to do!  :happy2:

Looking great Nathan! Can we have some more photos of down the side of the car please? I'd like to see how the wheels look in relation to the arch post lowering.

Also what plugs did you go for? I have my 40k service creeping up soon and I wanted to find out what plugs are susposed to be used, but if there's an upgrade I'll do that!  :happy2:

I notice that the new OEM Plugs for the TSI are a step colder than before. New ones are NGK PFR7S8EG JP. Only reason is i looked if those you got were compatible with the TSI but it appears not

Where those the sportline springs? Awesome Gti says up to 50mm but without being rude it doesnt look much more than 15-20mm from the before and after pics.

Wil be interested to see what its like after a few days.

The drop makes such a difference.  Really nice car.  What products do you use on the Paint? Looks like an excellent shine
