Wow thanks guys all your lowered GTIs look well H0T!!

Im after the koni fsd and eibach kit.. could i install the springs first then the konis after?

Awesome gti told me with just the koni fsd it will be higher than it is now but with the eibach aswell it will be lowered about 10-15mm frum stock height as i dont wana lower it to much because the eibachs alone will be 30mm.

But all your pix of your cars look ok theres enough ground clearence.

Do you suggest i wait untill i can afford the konis fsd and get them both fitted at the same time?

Any cheap places i can buy both? Awesomegti is excellent but a lil pricey

Here's mine lowered about 30-35mm on Eibach coilovers by Awesome









The ride is a little firmer but not uncomfortable and body control is brilliant

Btw, in my opinion you should always do a 4-wheel laser alignment after changing tyres or suspension, if you can.

wow that pic has just convinced me.. i was thinking that 30mm would drop it to much but looks just how it should.

....They're River ET45 19's. Another friend also has these rims, and also on a Laser Blue which he regularly tracks.

....I would definitely wait and have it done and aligned all in one (cheaper) workshop session.

Awesome(GTI) aren't especially expensive compared to most Koni and Eibach stockists. I don't know how expensive their workshop sessions are but they will supply only. :smiley:
