are they the stock springs??

I'm after the GTD springs, which lower the car by 15mm. I've got a 2.0 TDI GT, but its not lowered.

That's odd, because my GT TDI has sports suspension and is the same height as my mates GTD.

here is a shot of the car

it doesnt look too bad here! But trust me, its worse from the side profile.



I'd really like to drop it just 15mm like the standard GTI / GTD.

I dont want to compromise the ride / comfort levels too much.

How does the 25mm drop feel compared to stock?

^Hadwins??

The ride might be slightly firmer but still comfortable imo, best bet is to find a GTD for sale and have a go.

Here's mine compared to a Match with standard suspension.



I know that the Match has 16" wheels. This picture really goes to show that larger wheels make a car appear higher than it really is. I measured both cars ride heights, from the center of the hub to the top of the wheel arch, and my GT is 17mm lower.

I would have thought the spring rate would effect the ride, more so than the amount of drop.
