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
I've had both on mine(Eibach sportlines and H&R supersports), each for some time, and I believe you will be happier with Eibach's for a more comfortable ride.They are very close to the same drop, but H&R may or may not drop up to 1/8" more in front plus the H&R's are not as easy on the bum and back. I only switched from E's to H&R's for more front rake, but I didn't get it so I cut my front springs...so, the first pic was with sportlines, my first set of springs, and the following are now with the cut SS's:

I have Eibach sportlines on my GT sport, they sit nice and ride is pretty much OEM with great handling! I do like them but im in two minds whether to get the fk streets cos I want to go that little bit lower...really don't know what to do cos I don't want a harsh ride which is what people say with coilovers  :rolleye:

Well if you dont want harsh ride then dont go FK streets. Thats what im on atm, its ok to start with but after a while you will get sick of them. If you want coilovers, save that bit longer and spend good moeny on them. A set of FK highlines are meant to be a good set.

What do you mean hopping mate? If you mean like knocking and stuff, yea i had quite a bit of it at the start until they bedded in. My tires wore on the inside but thats just because of the stance my car had. Im starting to get a knocking noise now from the front and it sounds like it could be the shock thats gone. The sooner i get a set the comfy springs in the better  :smiley:
