Neuspeed
Whiteline
Eibach

to name a few

i'm running the Whiteline Adjustable rear on mine - improves things no end  :smiley:

don't forget that ideally you don't want a thicker roll bar at the front than what you have without fitting one at the rear otherwise you'll INCREASE the understeer

If you're wanting both front and rear i'd say go for the Eibach 25/25mm kit, makes a massive difference and it's really good value for money.

is it advisable to upgrade both the front and rear? or can you just do for example the rear

i've only done the rear - helps REDUCE the understeer which is what you want ideally - give you a more neutral balance

none and that pics was taken before i had it lowered it 30mm  :smiley:

only issue is if i have to park up on the pavement but if i'm careful i avoid scraping it - only done it once

A lot of people just do the rear as that gives the most improvement as the Golf 4 FWD doesn't have one as standard.

A lot of people go for the Eibach over the Whiteline as it attaches directly to the bottom of the shock so doesn't hang nearly as low as the Whiteline. Can't beat the Whiteline for value though.
