Eibachs or Pi lowering springs.

[StokieShinobi]

Hi guys

Just put 17s on my mk4 gti. Now the space in the wheel arches looks even more ridiculous. It HAS to be lowered.

I've always liked eibachs but they only do 30mm ones and I fear it's not enough. I'm more leaning to the Pi 35mm springs. Can anyone give me any advice on these springs and how well they work with 17s

Here are the two I'm looking at

Any help is much appreciated

for how much you pay for them eibachs you could get a set of cheap coilovers and choose what hight

It is the mrs car. Will cheap coil overs make it super hard? As I will only get moaned at if it is like at lol

So you reckon it's better with these over the eibachs

I thought perhaps top of the range lowering springs are better than poverty spec coilies, I could be wrong though. And ideally I want to lower. Little more that 30, probs around 35 - 40 so they may actually be better

I'm even more confused now lol

If you want comfort go with the springs mate Joms are pretty harsh but they are cheap so its up to you but for comfort i would go with eibachs

[StokieShinobi]

I think your right

I've just been reading all the posts about joms, like you say, they're good for slam,ing, and good for the price.

I just want to fill the space in the arches but keep comfort. So I guess it's the eibachs

Go for the Eibachs, might only be 30mm but still retain a decent ride using them with standard dampers.
