Stock GTI suspension?

[Ivor Mk4 Turbo]

Thanks, i'll look into the Einbach

Cracking set of springs which are designed to be used with OEM shocks.  Good value for £100-£110. 

p.s.  GTI is -15 mm & Anni's are another 10-15 mm lower than that.

Eibachs c/w OE shocks on 16" Montreal II's:-

What's the ride quality and road noise like with those? And does it make the car more interesting to drive in the corners?

Is it true that the GTIs with 15 inch wheels dont have the 15mm lowered suspension? If so what parts would I need to lower it to the proper GTI height? Not interested in lowering it much further than that.

just get some -30mm Eibach springs - will be cheaper than replacing the whole lot or buy those JOM shocks and springs which DPM have on offer - couple of people have fitted them and initial feedback seems pretty good  though the same was said about the Hottuning coilovers.......

I've changed to 35mm springs on standard shocks as the hottuning coilovers weren't to my taste at all. Only on there a month and i was glad to take them off.

Ride quality:  Virtually OEM.  Say 95%.

Road Noise:  No adverse effects.

Handling:  10 x better than stock.  Eliminates the pitching & diving under hard cornering that you get with OE springs.

Is a spring change easy?

Also I'm wondering if my car which came with 15 inch wheels has the same shocks as the ones with 16 inch wheels? Wonder if the springs would still work ok with them?

Apparently the Eibachs will wear out the standard shocks faster if you use them with the standard shocks.
