Title: Lowering GTI using spring kit
Post by: duffy78 on 13 May 2009, 10:40

Does anyone have any experience of lowering a GTi just using springs rather than a full shocks and springs replacement.

Any recommendations? things i should look out for?


thanks

I had eibach's on mine....

You can get the pros or sportlines if you after a bigger drop, I was happy with the lowering the pros gave..

I had Eibach Sportlines on mine got about 30mm drop.

H&R springs do about the same.

But there are many more makes out there to consider.
