Are these lowering springs ok for my tdi
« on: October 17, 2013, 03:49:20 pm »
Sorry noob here  :jumpmove:

Im looking for lowering springs, not coilovers.

Looking at these at the minute, but want to know im buying the right thing before spending precious dough...
And also am i able to get these fitted without needing to buy new shocks etc?

Buy them from DPM Performance.
Much better service and better prices too.

I had Eibach Sportline on stock dampers and JOM coilovers - JOMs rode more comfortably and handled better.

This is covered in another post that was on here recently.

Will look into DPM Performance  :happy2:

But safety wise, is handling wasnt a huge concern, would these springs be all i need?

Personal choice not dangerous if you don't want to.
You'll have better handling and a much firmer ride if you do.
But if you're going to do that, you might as well buy coilovers.

Spring's if you want the look and coilover's for the look + handling...

AP Coilover's FTW! :happy2:

In my opinion springs don't give a lowered look really.  :scared:

Haha, I just think you can put JOMs on all the way down at the front to get a usable, low look (imho)  :drool:
