Title: Just lowered my golf 30mm on Eibach springs
Post by: xtetx on 27 December 2011, 22:40
Hi guys,

finally got the time to lower my golf. Bought these Eibach springs for 120 delivered.
They are the eibach pro springs on standard shocks (for now).
17inch Audi TT Ronal alloys.

The ride is awesome, just eats bumps and corners with no harsh bottoming out. Only driven her for an hour with the new springs and they need to bed in, but so far, im impressed.

Looks great :afro:

I've got some 35mm springs for mine, I'm hoping that they will get the car low enough for me to not buy coilovers until I can afford decent ones. At the moment I've been eyeing up cheap ones far too often....I know that I'll regret it if I do :grin:

Thanks man!

It's one of them if you buy cheap you will end up spending money repairing elsewhere :(
I'd save up a little with your Xmas money   :grin:

17s u would have to slam to pull them off. I was in same dilemma, might go for 18s but still need to lower it quite alot to pull the wheels off  :wink:
