Eibach sportlines mk5 GTi
« on: April 10, 2013, 05:33:48 pm »
Hi folks,

Just looking to know what everyone thinks of Eibach sportline springs? I have FK street coilovers on my mk5 GTi but im looking to get away from the harsh ride, and the fact my girlfriend lives in the country doesnt really help matters. Ive seen a few cars on google images with sportlines in and the car sits nicely. Just want to see if anyone can help on these, or if there are other springs out there.

Regards Stuart

Its always the battle between sportlines and H&Rs!!! I have H&Rs on mine and really like the drop whilst retaining OEM comfort

I have sportlines on my ED30 and they are perfect for me.

Subtle but visible drop and the ride is very close to OEM

Hi Stuart,

I did exactly the same thing 2weeks ago. The eibachs are great. Like others have said the car feel like OEM buy sat much closer to the arch. I got mine from awesome gti in manchester and they were delivered within a few days for £151.

Thanks for the replies guys. Really helpful info  :happy2: BAZ could you post a pic on this for me just so i can see how your car sits? Ive read comments saying the car would sit slightly higher  at the front, can you shed some light on that please?

Some pics of mine on Eibach Springs and standard shocks

(coincidently up for sale  :wink: )

they drop the car about 20mm or 1 inch from stock GTI height. Lower but with standard dampening. so comfortable.

theyre off the car now as had coilovers fitted this afternoon
