I am after say 10mm additional drop on my gti. Just wondering what springs people run? And a side pic of how low it is.
Sorry I will be asking a lot of question over the next few months.
-
10mm?....that not even noticeable mate, usually a 30mm drop is seen as a small drop, ie VW racing or Eibach streetlines.
The you have mid range drop 30m-50mm, loads of different brands.
-
Done a little search there seems to be 20mm available. So really looking for pics of stance etc.
-
Bump. I am after a subtle drop from std gti.

I have Eibach Pro-Kit with Koni FSD dampers in my GT Sport. Rides very comfortably (especially with 17'' wheels) with much improved handling. The setup only lowers the ride about 5 mm from a standard GTI. Koni FSD dampers aren't compatible with more lowering springs.

I've just had eibach sportlines fitted and it looks spot on,I couldn't believe how comfy they are very impressed

Yeah, I have them on my Ed. 30 with OEM dampers but they're not as near comfortable as Pro-Kits with Koni FSD. Not harsh but I wouldn't call them comfy after riding the GT Sport. :laugh:
Looks they're spot on, indeed. :drinking:

Looks wise Eibach Sportlines are spot on. Pro-Kits look a bit too high but for bad roads I go less worried about clearance.
18'' wheels but not a leveled spot:

Will that be the same stance on normal gti?

Yes, the parts are all the same.

Anyone sell the eibach 30mm in U.K.?

Aren't you happy with your Sportlines? Or you're after a more comfort ride, is that it? :confused:

It was Vwgticrazy that fitted the Sportlines, not you... :signLOL:

Here's mine on 30mm H&R springs, perfect height I think, low enough to look good but high enough to make it over most speed bumps. :driver:

Shod are you eibach 20/25 or 30mm all round. So many variations.

You see many variations but there are only two from Eibach, either Pro-Kit or Sportlines.
Pro-Kits (black painted) compared with a normal suspension are -30 mm, compared with a sport suspension (like GT/GT Sport have) are -15 mm and compared with the GTI suspension are -5 mm (hard to notice any lowering, you'll notice the better handling and ride comfort).
Sporlines (red painted) compared with a normal suspension are -50 mm, compared with a sport suspension (like GT/GT Sport have) are -35 mm and compared with the GTI suspension are -30 mm (the perfect lowering in my opinion, better handling and a bit of improved ride comfort).
H&R just has one version of springs for GTI that are -30 mm that are very similar to Sportlines. They are painted blue. Other Golfs versions have different models of H&R springs that are similar to Pro-Kit (painted black too) and to Sportlines (painted red too).
If you want comfort go for a less lowering version. If you want better handling on corners and better stance you can go for the Sportlines or for the H&R -30 mm. :happy2:

Will get a pic but my gti looks quite low already.

If you don't want to lower it more, you can get Eibach Pro-Kit springs. :wink:
