Springs are a waste of money in my opinion.
I had Eibach Sportline springs on my TDI before I changed to coilovers.



Not really low in my opinion - you have a lot lower you can go before you run into any problems.

Interested in the H&R springs but have also found Eibach Sportline which ive seen people say that they lower the car more, is this true? has anyone got any pictures with these springs fitted or experience with them. Im more interested in springs than coilovers mainly due to price and not wanting the car "Slammed"

this is mine on eibach springs, standard shocks. (pretty level part of the drive)



If you want that height with comfort (practically OEM) then id go for them.

no issues rubbing with 5 people in the car.

heard good things about H&R springs too.

i wanted to go lower so changed to bilstien B14 coilovers which though maybe 1mm lower  :ashamed: ride was harder but still not uncomfortable.

then recently changed to H&R ultra lows, so current height is



now the driving comfort has gone almost back to Stock but the ride height is lower. Im sitting at that height as i rub and catch the front arches and archliner if i go any lower as my arches arent rolled.

these supposedly stiffen up the springs when hard cornering (works!!) and overall im very happy and content with the way the ride comfort and ride height is.

Hope that helps you bud!
