I've just had -40mm Koni springs fitted, ride is a bit firmer but not uncomfortable.

Love how the front sits but the back is still too high.
it was the opposite way around for if the front was 10mm lower it would of been perfect i could of just got the polo top mounts i think to make 10mm lower at front


 i drive a golf thats why im skint!!!!


losing interest in the golf and now not so skint !!!!!

eibach sportline, 45/50mm front, 35mm rear, rear hasn't even lowered lol. getting fk 60mm rear springs. uprate dampers, and if it doesn't match out get new top mounts for front to drop it more :(

had to sort out coilovers on my  mates civic, and because they're cheap they were fooked not long after, the dampers were leaking and wouldn't push back up a nightmare to fit. don't want problems down the line, ie 1 year or 2 years with cheap coilies.
