help choosing springs

[Dis00]

Loads out there mate, most recommended on here is Eibach tho

[Dis00]

to my knowledge (whichis most likely wrong) eibach do a 30mm and a 45-50mm drop will the 45mm go on standard shocks without any complications

[GazB]

Yes mate, should do with no probs, if not koni, spax or any of the others will do the same job mate

ive got PI springs on mine and tbh iam quite happy with them really, they are not to hard and not to soft, just right

I need to lower my new mk4. Can't afford a set of coilovers just yet so was thinking of just changing the springs as a temporary measure but I've heard  it can do a lot of damage to your stock shocks.Anybody done this and had any probs?

A mate of mine changed the springs only on his Mk4 TDi, & he had to change his track control arms TWICE, in only a month!

Car will also feel a bit bouncy with lowered springs/standard shocks. Best to do both or neither, IMO.

has anyone else had any problem just using lowered springs?

what other options do you recommend

well ive just got -35 springs on mine, and ive not had any problems *touch wood* i dont find the car too bouncy with my standard shocks, i quite like the little bounce it does over bumps at high speeds..
