That drop looks great!, your tyres seem slightly stretched or are they of a lower profile? do you have any other pics? how much firmer do you reckon these springs are to stock? some say 10% some say 15%

The tyres are 225/35/19s on a 8.5" wide wheel, so very square to a slight stretch.

What sort of angles do you want to see the drop from?

In all honesty, I didn't notice the springs being much stiffer than standard GTI springs.
I have VW Racing springs on both my GTI and Mk5 TDI and although I noticed the springs are stiffer on the TDI (hard to say...but maybe 15% or so) but I can't say I noticed the GTI being any firmer.

They are progressive, so the roll is less but the general ride seems no stiffer on the VW Racing springs.

Nice wheels! all of your wheel sets look amazing, I have to say, especially the colour coding between the mirrors, lip, diffuser and wheels! (sorry I have been stalking your posts for pics :whistle:)

If you have any side profile shots that would be great! I think I'll email VWR about the gtd springs vs gti, as the gti and gtd pretty much weigh the same, like the gtd 3dr dsg weighs about the same as a gti 5dr dsg etc, so hopefully not a harsh change to ride quality.

I thought the springs were linear? which is what gave them such a nice feel
