thing that worries me are the speed bumps i have to go over every day
does any one know if with a 30mm drop (H&Rs for example) would mean the front is less than 120mm off the floor as ive heard this is the max speed bump height?? do love the look but for me its about the handling and VWR state theres a 20-25% increase in spring rate in there option. but then maybe the lower ones might be even better for reducing body roll???
just to quote the volkswagen racing website...
With the standard-fit dampers being of a much more sophisticated design than previous generation cars, we have found that fitting an upgraded ‘Sport Spring’ delivers a very worthwhile improvement to the standard Golf Mk5 (and A3, Leon, Jetta, Eos, Octavia, TT and so on). Hence the different spring sets that we have developed for the cars using this platform all work with the standard dampers making this a very cost-effective modification to any of these cars.
We have chosen to lower the car by around 15mm in order to preserve the wheel travel needed to keep usability of the standard car, with an increase in spring rate of around 20-25%. The end result is a more responsive feel to the handling and a lower centre of gravity.
We recommend this set up for all applications except for the most demanding track use.
