Spring & Shock recommendations and pictures

[Lewisf1988-DUB]

Good evening gents, looking to swap put my current coilovers for shocks and springs as they are now crashing really bad and are seized .  My reasons for wanting a spring and shock setup is that we are expecting our first child and the rules layed down by the missus is that I can keep the car but it must have a smoother ride and be a sensible height haha. I'm going to be running my 18" bbs lm reps on the car once I have sorted out the lips a bit. Basically looking for opinions of ones that people have on there cars and even better if they have 18" wheels!  Pictures would be great also so I get an idea of ride height too!

Thanks for any replies in advance

Eibach pro springs (-30mm) and shocks :





Not low but not too high either and the ride is great, ideal compromise

cheers for the rich, anyone else got any pictures / opinions of different heights and brands?

currently looking at the Spax PSX kit  -  http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/spax-35mm-psx-lowering-springs-shocks-suspension-kitbr-golf-4-18-18t-19sdi-19tdi-20-23-v5-fwd-0797-p-3684.html

the fact they are adjustable is a bonus!!

Eibach pro springs are just as comfortable as standard springs imo, i ran them for a few months but they weren't low enough for me so i went down -40mm on Koni springs.

Mine will be for sale soon...

KW do a kit with 40mm drop for around £400 on Demon Tweeks. I've been so tempted by it many times
