Lowering springs

[gixerste]

I'm thinking about lowering my car at some point with either VWR Raceline or Eibach springs , I've fitted Eibach to other cars before so know they are a good quality spring that maintains comfort as well as improving handling but don't know anything about VWR sprinngs. Anybody on here fitted either of these make of springs to their Mk7 ?? Feed back about handling and comfort would be appreciated

Be very cautious when both buying and reading reviews of VWR springs. They went through a period when they were (apparently) crap, but I think they've got a new revision out now that is deemed ok. I'd go Eibach myself,. based on reviews. But as you can see, I'm confused, and it's a real minefield out there, particularly with VWR

Cheers for that as I've used eibach before I think I will just stick with what I know

It would be Eibach for me.

I have always had Eibach on my cars and my GTI is no different. I have had Eibach Pro springs on my GTI for over 25,000 miles and I have had no issues with comfort, noises or clearance. They are a great all rounder because they have enough drop to look good but not enough to compromise comfort or practicality.

Had VWR springs on mine for over 2 years and they've been absolutely fine. Car rides well, bit firmer but I like that. Nice drop in height too, not too low and no scraping on arches or speed bumps.

I'm sure I read h&r make them for VWR. I'd recommend them.

I had Eibach on mine, absolutely perfect in terms of drop and comfort, I took them off as I was getting an awful creaking noise with them, I believe there was a recall on them shortly after.

Here's a before and after video of mine https://youtu.be/FjMOFJO8w_E

I put Eibach pro kit springs in my car a couple weeks ago... height is perfect.

Had them in previous cars also and can%u2019t fault them.

dont want to hijack the post...but...if the car is fitted with DCC can they be lowered, does it mess with the handling, etc?  thanks.

I have read that with the Eibachs, each step is basically a bit harder, so Comfort is like normal, Normal is like Sport, Sport is a bit harder.

It's not ideal to run them with DCC, but I have DCC and I'm tempted to give them a god at some point
