Are these the springs that drop the car by 30mm ? If so i would also like to see the pics as im also after some new springs to tighten the ride on my mk 5 but also worried that the car will look too low with a 30mm drop.

Saying that pics of any car with a 30mm drop will suffice !   :laugh:

Keano, i got the springs from and fitted by Vag-tech in MK, think they were around the £150 mark.

Apart from the remapp this has definatly been the best mod ive done, the stance is lower and looks alot better! but more importantly the handling has improved dramatically! :smiley:

Not that the car above doesnt look great or anything but...I see next to no difference from stock...

Would be good to put a ruler or something by which we could measure the gap ourselves by....

I dont see much difference to mine (in sig) and as far as I know its never been lowered.

Have to agree with the above post,they do look like stock from your pics,I may well have to look into getting the sportlines instead...

The question i have got regarding the sportlines is that would the stock shocks be ok with a 50mm drop ?
