Lowering springs with standard shocks

[Rippers]

Another shout for H&Rs, fitted mine recently and had no issues with them being on OEM dampers. Ride stance is massively improved and the handling has firmed up a little but not anything to be worried about.

Your dampers will die though. It's just a matter of time

Lowered mine on H&R the other day. Definitely firmer but the ride certainly hasn't been ruined.

If the shocks do go then I'll probably go down the Bilstein B8 route, can get shocks for sub £400 from Eurocarparts with the right discount code

Could you please give me some details on this - I only see Bilstein fronts listed for my Ed30.
Thanks

@grey golfster

These are listed for my Leon but same fitment

Eurocarparts numbers
Fronts : 935440670 (ensure it states B8 and 55mm)
Rears:   935442080 (Ensure it states B8)

Two of each required (obviously). Using code TX15zg the total comes to £420.21 today - typical price fluctuation of Euros!!!! - still some £100 cheaper than DPM or anywhere you can find them

Thanks!

With codes (eg 30% off last weekend) that seems a good price for B8's?
Will do some homework, and await the discounting to be continued.

90% of the Euros codes do not work on performance parts.... This is the only one I could find that does

It's a very good price considering DPM, Awesome GTI etc. come in at over £100 more
