GTI vs CS suspension difference?

[flipflops]

Just wanting to know the difference between the two to work out if it's a worthwhile upgrade? Spring rates, ride height etc, non DCC.

I have got a mk8 with 19 "s and the springs that come with the Adelaides. Non Dcc

I had a mk7.5 GTI performance with 19s and DCC I paid for as on option I would not spec DCC again never really used any other setting than normal that much and would never pay to spec it again.

Thats just my opinion and mk7.5 doesn't have the range of settings a mk8.5 does but I think you will just find a setting you like regarded never move it.

Thanks Davo,

I'll rephrase my question as I'm not sure I made sense.

Is there any benefit in my upgrading my non DCC mk8 gti suspension to a club sport non DCC set? Are they stiffer, lower etc?

I believe cars spec’d with 19s from factory have a slightly lower spring, around 10mm based on the differences when fitting Eibach springs ( see below )

I haven’t seen anything to say the CS springs differ to the GTI springs, so maybe they are the same depending which size wheel you ordered from factory.

Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs – VW Golf MK8 GTI/GTD

25-30mm Front
20mm Rear

Lowering range on sports suspension models (19″wheels):
15-20mm Front
10mm Rear
