weitec are matched to the car. springs and dampers.no messing around setting up. eibach springs are very comfy, but i would not say they are good for over enthusiastic driving. too much roll is given

there is an optimum spring rate, damping rate set up for a 1100kg golf. and weitec set it out the box

I fitted a Weitec Ultra GT kit to my wife's Peugeot 307.

It transformed the car, and I would say that the ride is about the same as my 16V on standard suspension :smiley:
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I've got koni adjustables and eibach springs, I love them they are brilliant.

I would say about a 30-40mm drop is the best. Oh and I would replace the top mounts for sure (cured no end of wobbliness on my car).
