Is my car lowered?
« on: December 27, 2013, 08:59:52 pm »
Right, when I first took my car to VW last month to get the recall done on the Coilpacks. The first thing the Sales bloke said "that's low, is it lowered?". Then my VW mechanic said the same and the ride was firmer than usual.

The springs are black, no logo or anything just the spring load colour marks. My mate did say it might of had an optional extra having it lower from new. Eibach usually supplies VW/Vag springs for this optional choice. But VW/Vag sprays them black.

We don't know, but here's a picture of it sitting level. Don't want to buy H&R's if its already had some sort of Eibach or H&R's fitted already. Plus I haven't had any luck in finding a GTI to park next too.
