springs?
« on: 31 December 2004, 15:53 »
   Hi can anyone recommend a good uprated spring kit for the Gti-t?

 i've used GSF -40/45mm on mine and they are a little harsh on un-avoidable crap road surfaces,

i have lowerd a handfull of cars in the past so kind of know what to expect but im gunna have to change these.

  Thanks.

Have the Boge springs (Identical to the GSF ones) no probs with ride quality. Tends to bounce slightly over speed ramps on the front though. Coilovers are the best solution IMO. Cheers, Kev.

Got a very similar situation as you.  The smoothness of the road here is not all that either but I was determine to uprate the springs to have a better handling.  Also not low or hard enough for the other half to notice.  So I want for the Eibach Pro-kit Progressive -30mm and wow what a great choice if you don't mind me saying so.  My other half knows nothing about the difference while I get a constant smile on my face when ever I corner.  Wicked!!  :evil:
