ive tried all sorts from coil overs to -40 springs and not happy with any of them.
so ive fitted sports 150 suspension to my 130 but it was missing front springs

What's the ride difference between lowering -40 and 150 sport suspension?
Is it straight fit?

How much does it drop it mate? Do you have 150 shocks and springs all round? Any pics of your car with them on?

Also considering this on a 130 vs either anni suspension or eibach and b4's...

Cheers

eibach and b4's cost about £350 ish, anni springs and dampers new from the dealers will be more expensive

So probably better to get the eibach which surely must be better than the VW set-up.

well i thought about them but i couldn't find any diesel specific ones, so unless there adjustable i didn't think they would be quite right.
ill get some pics up of my 150 setup and the ride is firm but pleasant.
