H&R or the Eibach Sportline on GTD

[Cliff_944]

OK - there has been a lot of talk about Springs.  I not sure if to go for H&R or the Eibach Sportline on my GTD.  What do you guys think?

Had the same dilemma prior to lowering my car, very happy with the ride height on my car form the Eibach Sportlines with the only gripe being it sits very slightly nose heavy, which I don't believe the H&R's do.

Based on past experience, I'd probably pick H&Rs because they tend to be slightly less harsh around town.
Both are good quality springs...and I've used both over the years.

I love the ride on my car with eibach sport lines. I had pro kit springs with cup shocks on my clio 197 and that was great too.

my golf is definitely better than standard IMO and sits just right. I did measure it bu i cNt remember the exact drop but it was only around 15mm lower than standard if that.

If it were DSG or a diesel it would sit a few mm lower at the front using the springs I have. My car sits very level front to back

Thanks guys.... Sounds like eibach sportsline might be a bit low on the front of my GTD. I don't want it to look silly so the H&Rs might be a safer option...

eibach do springs specific for diesel, petrol, manual or DSG - just make sure you get the right ones

some people fit manual springs to a DSG car to make it lower at the front though

eibach offer a large variety of springs to suit engine weight and gearbox spec - not sure if H&R do that - means your GTD will be lower than an equivalent GTI at the front on the same spring - if you get eibachs for the right application it will be right

OK the Sportlines then.......

im sure the h&r are great too but i havent tried them on the golf. ive seen a good few mk5 and mk6 on sport lines or VWR which are basically the same and they always look right to me
