pre 95 eibach springs from a vr6 with boge turbos

That is why the front is high then, VR springs are heavier duty due to the extra weight of a VR engine, they will not lower a 8v very much if anything tbh.

As Wayne says, you've probably jacked it up rather than lowered it haha

Yeah I knew this when I bought them, as we've had this convo before, about the vr weight, and the fact that the springs were the same for all the pre 95 gti/vr versions from eibach.

At least it looks a little more even to the back now, maybe next year when i've got the some spare cash I may invest in coilovers, or a proper spring set.

Vr is 100% different due to the extre engine weight.
