Eibach Sportline Springs

[Peskarik]

Anyone tried those?
How hard are they?

Looking into Eibach Sport-System-Plus, which includes Pro-Dampers, sportline springs, and anti-roll kit.

Thanks in advance!

I used this set-up on my first regular GTi, not to harsh, ride batter than standard, really sharpens things up, I had an issue with rear ride height which I believe has been rectified. But for the money its a pretty good set-up IMO

Thanks for info!
Now will have to find out if I can order the package here in Switzerland, and how much it costs. Things are pretty cheap over there in Britain, not like here.

Is the ride more harsh than standard ?

No, I haven't. FSD does not lower much. I want 30-35mm. Plus, it is easier to order the whole Eibach package and have it installed.

I've just had the Eibach 'sportline' springs fitted and Im really pleased with them as the car has only lost a fraction of it's original ride comfort (if you can call it comfort!  ).

Only probs so far is something is catching when I go over speed bumps, but Im getting this looked into next week.

No if anythings its better, more controlled over the bumps

Is it catching at the front, if so its probably the arch liner

It has a few times yeh but mainly a metal on road noise from the rear 

Have you got a fix for the front arches?

[gazbutmk5gti]

The front is a retaining bolt at the top of the arch, it sort of sticks out, if you run your hand round the arch you will find it. Remove the bolt/screw, tuck the liner behind the tab, maybe bend it up a bit and it will be fine.
