Lowering Springs
« on: May 13, 2014, 08:58:01 am »
Hi I have a stock 2007 Stock MK5 GTI on 17" Monza's. I am thinking of picking up a set of H&R Springs with 30mm drop. Can anyone tell me if these will straight swap with my current springs and if I need anything else to go with them. Is anyone else running similar with photos so I can get an idea of the look ?

As always cheers for the advice guys

Might need new top mounts, can be bad for seized  bolts, shearing or spinning the welded nuts underneath
