One thread with pictures of different spring types?

[Matthew.]

Hi all,

Is there a single thread out there somewhere (tried searching "springs" and you can imagine how many results came back) showing all the different types of lowering springs used?

Ie What's the difference between Eibach Pro/Sportlines and H&R or VW Racing?

Pictures really are worth a thousand words ;)

Unfortunately not.

There are only two main types folk go for. Eibach or H&R (I had the latter) 

Have a go with the search function and you will find plenty

Trouble is with the search function, unless I'm doing it wrong, it brings up key words as opposed to thread titles, it's information overload! Ha

[GrayMK5GTI]

Just search for Eibach.

Fist thread that comes up has pics in 

[Matthew.]

Hmm not many pictures in that thread.

Anyone lowered on springs who fancies posting up a pic of their GTI?

Here's a car on H&R's:

Eibach again: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2730.msg40860.html#msg40860

H&Rs are more expensive but sit a couple of mm lower than Eibach

Your a legend mate, much obliged! 

Looks like the Eibachs are the way to go for me then.

[GrayMK5GTI]

No worries 

[Matthew.]

Wonder if ill have any problems with the Eibachs, seen as though my Monzas are ET40?

I've got the Eibach Sportline springs on mine (standard shocks). My wheels are ET42 and I had very slight rubbing so removed the screw from each of the front arch liners to solve this.

[Matthew.]

Thanks for that Mandy!

I'm looking at getting the eibachs, seem to be one of the favourites.

Are standard pescaras ET40?

No, I think they're ET51.

You won't have any problems with the Pescara's as they are 7.5" ET51 and Mandy's are (by the look of them) BBS VZ's 8" ET42 so hers will poke out by an extra 13mm IIRC.
