Golf GTI - Panther

just introducing my beloved golf gti! first car with dsg and I love it
so since having my gti iv replaced front brake setup to S3 8V ones, I have the rears to but want to get a mechanical mechanism made for the handbrake cables.
anti lift kit - perfect and useful mod
cleaned my valves, engine bay whilst I was doing that, stripped the front end off and got my lights, bagdes tinted and then had the grills sprayed black.
fitted new shocks, top mounts, links and apec lowering springs 35mm drop.
had the car machine polished and wow I fell in love again with the car.
fitted my winter wheels with nexen tyres which are shocking in the wet!
ramair induction kit fitted too which I love.
got a friend from defined headlights to order me some interior leds to!
boot pop kit fitted supplied and fitted by me!
hi line cluster fitted also.
the interior trims will be going gloss black once iv finished getting rid of that horrible texture!
next few things
mk6 golf steering wheel
replace oil pick up pipe
timing belt with water pump
get a custom exhaust made up
protect all the suspension parts once I get time to clean off any rust or flaking paint
get it remapped!
few other things too

Any chance you could tell me more about the springs ? Improved handling ride height etc ? And a link if you don't mind. Thanks

Yep handling improved a lot! I'm happy with how the front sits, could have really done with the rears more slower TBH..
I was going to buy h&r but at the time they were working out too expensive, second option was APEC from euro car parts I think they were £120-£130
