Urgent question about mk5 gti suspension!
« on: 08 July 2012, 11:46 »
Hi all!
Sorry for bad English :).
I'm from Russia and i have mk5 gti.
The trouble is what in Russia we have a special suspension on gti and this is 2-2.5cm higher then euro version. in short - our gti have very high springs :).
Our roads are bad and i dont want to buy springs like eibach or h&r, because from our springs they give me -5cm...
Question - i know what in Germany springs on GTI are lower about 2 cm then on golf 1.6l or other not powered. But what about England? I ask it because i find a good lot on ebay England and want to buy it for me :)!

Sorry again if my english is bad. And I hope for a speedy response.

Thanks!

This is how my gti looks (very high)

Eibach or H&R would be OK. If you get either Eibachs Pro-kit springs or H&R Sport spings. But do not get Eibach sportlines or H&R supersports or race, because these are their lowest springs.
