Who's got what?

I'm talking just springs BTW

Which is better? H&R or Eibach?

Eibach but better to fit shocks as well.

Very happy with Eibach. Not had H&R. Venom motorsport had the best price I could find

Eibach fitted to mine... 20mm Drop is just about right I think...

I have never used H&R but I know peeps on an Audi forum use them and seem to get good reports!

did you go for 20mm drop?

Yes. The Eibach springs will drop an 8v GTI 20mm from its standard height. Similar to X4MGS's car in his sig picture, mine now looks like this, its either level or a tad lower at the front when viewed in the metal:





Suits me very much, as there is no scrubbing on anything, which was not the case with the previous springs i had....

Edit:  The tyres are 195 45 15's, so adjust your eyes if your using a deeper profile
