Blistein B12 on a GTi
« on: April 30, 2015, 05:37:15 pm »
I am on the hunt for some picture so I can see the right height / stance with these Bilstein B12 Kit fitted to a mk5 GTi, but I can't seem to find any. Is there a thread with what I am after already started?

Here's mine, thread was a while back. Since this they've revised the springs supplied. Mine was a 'Pro' kit which had minimal drop. Still happy with it.  :happy2:

Thank you for that link to your GTi. The drop looks good and not too 'slammed' which I thought it might hint at, looking at yours it looks spot on.
I see yours is the pro kit and what I might have fitted is the sportline kit which I read that it drops is lower...by how much?

I couldn't say in all honesty. I expect others will know or ring a supplier and ask. You are correct in saying it's more though.

I had the B12 Sportline kit on mine, it drops a GTI/ED30 25-30mm approx.
I believe the Pro kit is approx the same drop as OEM though they stopped making these a while back so it can only be old stock, I would assume?
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

They're close to OE, 10-15mm drop.

Thats what the specialist told me the car drops.  I just want some pictures to fully decide on the kit.
