400 ODD QUID FOR THIS  :lipsrsealed:

Jesus hell lol.

Thats alot of cash to be spent on it then.

 Its down to personal preference TBH You can get cheaper sets ie :

http://ngvi.ebay.co.uk/vi?ngvi&backtoid=3&ppsp=1&li=0&pdp=0&sspagename=WDVW&dsr=0&item=300197513897&backto=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.co.uk%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3Dgolf%2Bmk4%2Bsprings&pass=gHR9%2FmOiP2dzHEuMiwh6a1AtL3E%3D

But you wont get the quality that eibach have, You will probably be bouncing down the road TBH  :grin:

I think you get what you pay for and dont do cheap i buy quality once :afro: , I believe that eibach make springs for vw so thats what your car is running on now.

You could also get coilovers for what i paid for shocks and springs but i use the car everyday so need a good ride, I also wanted a subtle look (only 30mm drop) and not OTT so i would not use the adjustable ride height.

The difference from stock is amazing you can now use the power you have.
 The springs are much stiffer but with only minimal loss of ride quilty  :wink:

As rhyso said modding a Golf properly ain't cheap lol.

Yeah i understand quality is needed for such a car. I guess it will be done over next few months. It aint bothering me to much but enough i guess to make me want to lower it lol.

How many mm is sensiable ? I mean i am a tall heavish guy ( 6ft 5 18stone lol ). So i dont wanna lower it to low if you get me lol.
Diesel power all the way

Im very happy with - 30mm but maybe go -40mm that would would look good, I think you can get probs with the ARB if you go lower than - 40mm.  :smiley:
