Looks really well Darren, how do you find the h&r's for comfort? Much different from stock? Amazing build thread by the way!

If you don't mind my input Tonto. I've been in a few gti's with 'standard springs', 'Eibach Sportlines', and H&R's'.

I found the H&Rs quite abit harsher than standard, but awesome handling improvements, and the lower drop.

Eibachs (i have them) aren't that much different from factory in terms of 'harshness' (?), however I don't find the handling improvements as good as H&R, but are still a vast an improvement. + you get the drop.

All in all, I'd happily have any set on my car, but in hindsight, I wish I went for the H&Rs  :happy2:

Cheers guys,  Paul the comfort is very good a bit like standard but with some firmness thrown in.

I cannot speak for the guys with GTI's has I have the GT suspension on so it maybe a little harsher in the big boys toys :grin:

You have done a great job on the wheels and  the car looks better and probs drives better on the H&R springs

Just had a catch up with this Daz and glad to hear your keeping the soot chucker!  :laugh: :happy2:

She's looking very well and I can't blame you for keeping her, what else could give you the performance, comfort and economy for that kind of money?!?!

Keep up the good work fella!  :drinking:

Thanks every one, well has 81lly knows i have been test driving a new Honda Civic Type R today and loved the car but I don't think I could live with the drive every day not very smooth and even when in vtec it just didn't have the same shove that I'm used to??

Any way been messing with the Carbon vinyl tonight so once Rich has been round tomorrow in his TTRS ill get the car clean and get some nice pics some where got a nice pic location in mind that i saw a photo shoot at yesterday, someone doing a Lotus Evora
