which lowering spring that dont lower!

guys

im in need of a new set of springs and looking at the service history/receipts the front left is the only original and the rest are mismatched autofactor tat.

iv always been in the school of thinking that wishbones need to be flat for best handling, bump steer etc. so as they are almost that now, im looking for springs that dont actually lower the car.

the ones i have found are-

now, does anyone have experiance of any of the above springs?

Im looking for comfort with a sporty edge. will be replacing dampers with bilstein b4 OE items.

also, they both quote lowering of 30mm. is that from the standard golf height (ie none GTI)?


kind regards

How about lowering it in conjunction with some TT hubs/arms?

TBH i want to keep the car as standard as possible. i know it would handle better with the above, but i cant justify the cost at the moment

after driving my sisters cooperS, and my girlfriends sportKa i realise i have a boat. to get it to handle anywhere close to either of them it would cost £1000 upwards. arb's, poly's, TT wishbones etc...

i just cant justify it. the reason with getting new springs was purely so i dont have 4 different branded and age items on there.  dampers are also over 100k old so are defo in need of a change.

dam the man who wrote off my Mk2 golf ABF. now that could handle!
