H&R ones despite her as i wanted to go for a quality route
   eibach are quality too ! :happy2:

im sure eibach are fine fella but i was under the impression KW and H&R made the best suspension products available which is why i narrowed my choice to them although i could have been wrong to dismiss the eibachs but if i wanted cheap i could have gone for Apex or alike

i did see them but after talking to eibach i decided they were for me and there only 10 min drive from me ! :wink:


Which Eibach springs did you get then Candy Turbo... the ;

(This kit Front lowers by: 30-35mm and rear lowers by: 20-25mm)

                                           OR

http://www.eibach-suspension.co.uk/p1331707.htm

(This kit Front lowers by: 45-50mm and rear lowers by: 30-35mm)


I'm guessing i'll go with SteveP's opinion, the first link :smiley:



getting mine fitted next monday and full 4 wheel alignment and tracking to be safe. find a decent place to get this done aswell rich as some people would just wack em on cheap and you need to be safe bud :happy2: you can get the stealers to do it but mine wanted over 400 quid tho  :stupid:


Well, i know a local bloke who puts them on cheap for me, about £60... but springs, they just come off and replace the existing ones. Nothing too technical and shouldnt go wrong...

Your right about being safe though :wink:

yes the top ones the others not for the gti , after fitting get a re alignment , mine did need some adjustment after lowering , i didnt think it would .   £130 for springs £60 fitting £50 re alignment your not saving much really  :happy2:

Can you let us know how you get on with the 4 wheel alignment, when I changed my wheels to the pescaras I considered it but vw wanted about £140!! Didn't find anywhere else with a beissbarth so just left it and hoped for the best....

Yeah, I should have explained. I noticed some strange tyre wear on the old rubber, just wanted it checked but no such probs on my pescaras with assymetrics.
