I've just put the original springs back on the car , I found the eibach pro springs and 19in wheels , didn't make for a comfortable ride .
You passed me on the Exeter bypass yesterday. I was the one in the Clubsport with lowered suspension courtesy of a tonne of my son’s junk in the back.
Previous experience over many years has led me to accept that UK roads and lowering springs aren’t a great combo unless you spend four figure sums on top end matched spring and damper kits that don’t have firm springs. Or if you take out a mortgage for a set of Öhlins. But the latter are far too nice to fit to a car, much better on motorbikes where you can actually admire the engineering.
Mk7’s sit reasonably low anyway. Just chuck a few bags of cement and ballast in the boot, works for me!!
