theyre just rebranded eibach's and the drop to me looks the same as my sportlines so doubt there is much difference so i would say B8's again.

Cheers. Now I have to decide - shocks or ARBs. I favour ARBs as I know they make a massive difference and the main problem at the moment is body roll. Or just save the money for the house I've just bought......

sod the house

i fitted a whiteline rear sway bar and it makes a difference. i have only tried it on soft which is about +45% i think (i did work it out but cant remember off the top of my head).

i didnt do the front yet as its a subframe out job.

personally i would spend the money on shocks first before ARB's. the ride is class on my car now.

I had Eibach ARBs, Weitec coilovers, S3 brakes, WALK etc etc on my A3 and the ride and handling was awesome. I also had Goodyear Eagle F1's on by then which are light years ahead of the RE050A's. I sold all of the mods as they were a couple years old and I would prefer new stuff on a new car, but I'm too tight to buy it all again.  I'm pretty happy with the ride now it's just really large bumps/dips in the road which unsettle the car a bit, but by then I'd be going faster than I should anyway so it's time to slow down

oh and the body roll, but again I have no problem reaching speeds in excess of what I should be sooooooo............... it would just feel a bit nicer to drive

Mate, think with your head...save the money for your new house you'll be getting rid of the GTI sometime any how...

So Eibach Sportlines have been fitted and the car now looks as it should have from the factory and ride doesnt feel as though its been compromised, very pleased

Couple of pics;

Hi mate, which sportline kit is that? The front 20-25mm and rear 20mm or the front 45-50 and rear 30-35 mm? Thanks! As that looks the bollocks!!

I've got a GT TDI that's on 35mm ( maybe 40mm ) I can't remember, looks excellent at the front, a tad high at the rear, Instagram @tompassant if you want to have a look or check this, Quite low at the front but high at the rear ...
