I was really fond of my GTI on H&R's. ride was too soft as standard, these make it feel just right  :happy2:

I can really recommend them to others  :smiley:

That looks ace think its just what mine needs :)

Thanks mate :happy2:

Yeah they are pretty much what I wanted. Ideally I would have preferred 10mm lower but that would make it too impractical, especially around my area.

I'm thinking the guys at APS did the wheel alignment too?

Let it settle for a few weeks then get it checked again as it will drop just a little further and may affect the camber and therefore the wear.

Looks nice  :happy2:

Yeah they did a 4 wheel alignment. The front has settled slightly more but the tyre wear is looking fine, so no issue.

Think they were the sport springs. How much do the super sports lower by?

These lowered by 30mm so not the super sports. I would be having issues with the humps round here if I was on the super sports and now I have spacers there would have been major rubbing.

Really? They definitely didn't lower by 1.9" though but maybe that's the drop for the standard golf.
