This was the night the springs were fitted so it's settled down a bits sorry for the poor quality picture

This is on H&R lowering springs, the ride's great. Very slightly stiffer than standard but at the same time not too low as to cause problems with speed-humps etc. Great feel to the car when cornering!

What's the product code for the H & R springs for the ED30, seem to do 2 "drops", 1 of 30mm and 1 off 50mm or am I reading it wrong? Which do you have in yours AndyED30? Cheers

As far as I can see there are mk5 Gti H&R's and there are normal mk5 golf H&R's.

Gti ones lower 30-50mm (about 45mm)
Part no 29176-1

Normal Golf
Part no 29261-1

This advert says lowers 35mm but most people report that these don't drop the car at all  
I think they must drop a normal golf but since the Gti is already 15mm lower than a standard mk5 the difference of 20mm isn't obvious like the other springs!

[AndyED30]

The ED30's already lower in standard format than the GTI so it's a 30mm drop compared to the regular GTI which "I think" will be 45mm.

Monte's right about the non-GTI too because this will be even more of a drop.

I got mine from APS in Brackley, fitted and aligned http://www.autops.co.uk/productlist.asp?catalog=020804&manu=&search=

Just ask the distributer and I'm sure they'll check.

Cheers, Andy.

Cheers Monte and AndyED30, just what I needed to know. Thank you very much.

The ED30  isn't any lower than a standard GTI   they both have the same suspension 

Discussed to death on the forum. Think the rumour started as people read it in Evo mag or summat . . . .

Yeah, Correct! I think he might have confused the Gti with the Standard Mk5.

GTi/Ed30/Pirelli are all same and are 15mm lower than standard Mk5.

With the links I posted, this means that the 29261-1 springs for a standard mk5 will only lower the car 15mm lower than a standard GTi.

The proper GTi H&R's will lower the GTi about 40-45mm (on my car).

Another 10mm lower would look perfect IMO, but I'm very happy with the looks and performance of the 29176-1's

  I stand corrected......
