Lowering Springs

[Mr GTD]

Well, thanks very much guys. I have been trying to resist lowering since getting the car 2 and a bit weeks ago. Thanks to you all, I am now looking at springs and will probably buy a set tomorrow. I had Weitec coilovers, Eibach ARB's, Whiteline ALK etc on my previous A3 and it handled VERY well, better than stock GTI, however stock GTI is miles ahead of stock A3 Black Edition (IMO).

I'm insured with VW as they were the cheapest and unfortunately they won't cover any mods, so I am going to call tomorrow and try to convince them it's fitted by dealer so it's ok to declare lol...

hehe! I knew you wudnt be able to resist

Thats cheap as chips!  I managed to get the local dealer to match the Pullman price... its in for the work on Monday next week... bye, bye suspect PI springs... hello VWR springs!  S3 short shift, ED30 gearknob and a brake upgrade on the cards next...

I'm having VWR springs fitted on Saturday, assuming car is put back together by VW in time.

£290 all in, including springs, fitted, alignment (and they're fitting my S3 short shifter at the same time, in that price)

Again that is a great price!! Even my local independent wanted £525 to supply and fit!! Think I need to move! Somerset/Wiltshire is expensive!

Haha I think you do!!

I got a good price on the springs & I know the owner of the independent who is fitting so they gave me a good price.
