Yes you are spot on oryx3dr, thanks for that never noticed.

Now I can’t seem to find the Sportline kit for the MK7 only the pro-kit. Hmmm more research required.

Yes that’s the pro-kit, I’m trying to find the sportline kit. I’ve google images “mk7 golf Gti on eibach sportline”  and there are plenty of results but I can’t find a part number for the kit or a retailer that sells the kit.

Just a wee update.

I ended up going for the Vogtland lowering springs just to go for something different. I’m really pleased with the result, it’s a subtle drop and the ride difference is pretty much unchanged.

Here are some before and after pics. I did the install the other day and the after pics are taken straight after I finished so it might settle a bit more.

Car on standard springs.



Front dimension before 111mm



Rear dimension before 107mm



Car after install.



Front dimension after 90mm



Rear dimension after 80mm



Kit used.
