Don't know what exactly is the practical difference between:
Eibach Sport-System (=Sportline springs + Pro Damper)
Eibach Pro-Street-S coilovers
:undecided:
With coilover system I can lower up to 65mm on each axle; with Sport-System I can lower 20-25mm on the front, 20mm on the back axle, according to Eibach webpage (www.eibach.de). That is the only difference I know of, what are other significant differences, in terms of handling for example?
I will also buy Eibach Anti-Roll kit and 12mm spacers for back axle, independent of the which of the above I buy.
Can anyone please enlighten me? :embarassed:

The coilovers mean you can adjust the ride to exactly where you want, with the springs and dampers of the sport system you get what your given.
I've used both of these set-ups and if I had to choose again I would go the pro-street-S coilovers. They really are good for the money, ask Hurdy he is using them at the minute
-
Gaz is right, I'm rolling on them at the moment.
The Pro street coilovers are a great piece of kit. :cool:
I'd definitely recommend them over the fixed sport system. :smiley:

How many pennies does it cost for a set of Pro Street coilies?! :huh:
-
If I buy Pro-Street-S, do I need to buy springs also (sportline)? :embarassed:
-
No the pro-street s are coilovers aren't they, they come with springs :smiley:

If I remember correctly there are 2 strut diameters on the mk5 50mm and 55mm, I think this will be difference in the part numbers. I think only a few early cars had 50mm. You would need to check yours but my bet is they are 55mm. I phone call to Awesome would soon clear it up. You should have a trip over and buy all your goodies :smiley:

Yeah come over when there's a big forum meet going on, and coincide your trip with some lovely parts purchases for your car!
