That looks perfect. What's the manufacturer figures for the drop on sportlines? How's the ride compared to stock? Where did you buy them? :grin:

Got them from Larkspeed and their website quotes 30mm front and 20mm rear.

What colour were the springs? Have you ever scraped anywhere? I used to scrape on multi-stories all the time.

Looks well.
I had eibachs fitted on a previous car more for stance and show as it was used as a daily but also car shows and concourse.
They were 35mm drop all round and the ride and handling were spot on and not as firm as hard as I thought they were going to be I was more than happy with them

I did have to do the fender screw mod when I put the 19s on it as they rubbed on the front but had no issues on standard wheels. I've had a reasonable amount in the boot with no rubbing on the rear.

Funnily enough I had an astra VXR  with sportlines prior to the golf and the ride feels very similair.

They are quite firm - I have to go quite slow over speed bumps but everyday driving is fine (although I do keep a keener eye out for big bumps etc).

Oh and in reply to an earlier question, they're red.
