Judging by the part number - 29176 - they're manual.

Can you tell me if these are dsg ir manual springs?

I don't think it's matter if is Dsg or not.only if is awd or fwd.dsg weights 40kg more is not that much of difference.I know cause when i did my awd swap the eibach spings my car has as fwd dsg lowered another 2cm especialy in the rear.if you look in H&R site you will find it out

Eibach has different part numbers for DSG and Manual gearboxes. H&R only has one part number for GTI. :wink:

These H&R springs are superb for the money and work really well with stock dampers and a anti lift kit.

I've had two sets of KW Clubsports at £2k a pop on two of my sat ED30's and for value the H&R are pretty good value......I expect even stiffer on harder dampers such as Bilstein

Iv bought a set of the h&r springs now and as my shocks e 97k old I'm going to pair them up with a new set of bilstein b4 dampers, same as the stock dampers just suited for lowered cars, hopefully be an ok setup for the money

Check your facts straight. Bilstein B4 aren't sport dampers, they're just normal dampers. B6 are sport dampers for normal springs. B8 are what you should have brought since they're for lowering springs. So, don't be surprised if your dampers don't last what you expected them to.  :happy2:

Ahh I have been told they are suited to going as low as 40mm without any issues, would I be better off with bilstein b4 or new factory shocks then?

OEM dampers are sport, so similar to B6. B8 are the ones for H&R springs.

In that case, I guess the OEM are better suited. They will be set for a sport setup while the B4 are more comfortable and not for sport springs.
