Lowering springs MK2 Gti 8V

Mine needs lowering! Simple as that!

However I cant really afford one of the full suspension kits.
Any ideas on which lowering springs to get which would lower it my about 60mm?

Prices range from about ?80-?120 on what ive viewed so far, anyone got any favourites or ideas?

Eibach springs are good, cost about ?120 and can be used with stock shocks. Only drop the car by about 30mm, if you want more then you will have to go for a full kit.

As VR6 said you cant really go to low or the spring will be loose in the seats and thats not good MOT time. try the adds or ebay for used not abused ones.

i think p.i. do a 60mm kit also GMAX used to . but to be honest mate i wouldnt go any lower than 30 - 40 mm . and make sure your shocks are ok. :)
