Lowering springs

[Ryan90GTI]

I had Eibach and DCC and to be honest I thought it improved each setting by making the difference between comfort, normal and sport much more noticeable.

I did have a shock prematurely fail on me which I believe was down to the lowering springs, I'm now back standard.

Apparently you can still lower a bit with DCC without it affecting reliability to any major extent.

I'd stick with Eibachs 100%, which ones (pro kit or sportlines) are up to you. Sportlines lower a bit more on the front but have a little less comfort.

I've got sportlines and don't mind them but some might find them a little too hard - it's all subjective though. If you've got DCC, I'd stick to the pro kit.

Thanks for all your replys looks like Eibachs when I get round to lowering it

Not in my experience.

Depends how far you lower Eibach pro kit lower a tiny amount.

It was the pro kit that I used. It may have just been a coincidence but as with any stock damper they're not designed for aftermarket lowering springs.

If it wasn't for the annoying creak and the leaking damper I would've still had them on the car because they were exactly what I was after whilst still keeping OEM levels of comfort.

Just lowered my TCR with Eibach Pro Kit springs, and looks a lot better now and no apparent difference in ride. Very pleased with them so far.

Eibach here too, put off by a handful of VWR reviews. If you shop around you can pick up Eibach Pro for £120 or so

How far did it lower?  Be good to see some pictures of it if you have any?

Not sure I could get away with lowering mine as have to go up over the path before down on to my drive so as I am half way over the path I already get pretty low to the pavement...

Eibach Pro on my 2013, this photo was taken recently so they've been on for more than a year and definitely settled
