Gaz, tell me more about Eibach coilovers. How much is the drop?
I am thinking about Pro-System Plus, but the drop is only 10mm, don't know if that going to be visible at all.
Maybe I should take that pro-system plus with sportline springs instead (25mm drop).
Or just install coilovers?

What's the difference between coliovers and dampers+springs? Is coilover = damper+secondary spring(bump stop)?
Should I get a set of springs if I get coilovers?
Educate me, please!

P.S. Nice ride there!

Damper and springs set comes with uprated dampers and springs that lower the car a fixed amount, coilovers also come with uprated dampers and springs but the platform that the spring sits on is adjustable so you can alter the ride height to just how you like it.
Think mines lowered by 25-30mm if I remember rightly, but the coilovers will lower up to 45mm although you'll get rubbing issues that low.
I tried the Eibach Pro-system on my last GTi and was never happy with it as it sat higher at the back and because the mk5 is wedge shaped it made it look daft IMO

Thanks for the kind words

Looks awesome mate! How do you find the drive with the suspension over stock?

It is a little harsher than standard but by no means uncomfortable, but there's virtually no body roll and fair does does it grip :evil:

Gaz do you find your car puts the power down better with the Eibach suspension.
