How does the comfort compare to standard?

I'm 99% sure H and r do a 50mm for the gti aswell only made for American market but there is a few company's now selling them on the U.K
Can see how people get easily confused though it's a right pita

Yeah mate I had a wee nosey today on my lunch and I think your right I think they call them H&R supersports or something...defo worth a shout if your wanting it even lower..prob a little more firm but H&R are quality so worth a try

Bear in mind US GTIs sit really high. I'd guess 15/20mm higher than the 'Euro' as they call it.
I'm prepared to be proved wrong, but I'd bet my balls that this 50mm spring wouldn't lower a Euro/UK GTI by 50mm.
I'm on the normal 30mm H&R by the way, and I agree, they're very good.

Hi folks just a wee update since I just got my stage 1 APR remap done at ecotune in renfrew ( basically Glasgow to all English peeps :wink: )
I would like to thank the guys at Ecotune for a great service today!! im over the moon with the results even after a sketchy start which the guys rectified brilliantly.
I turned up on the off chance looking to get my map but since I was actually doing overtime at the time and had sneaked away :grin: I wasnt very hopeful of getting slotted in. Luck being on my side they had a cancellation and i jumped at it.
Got my car rolled their couple months back the car being completely standard and ran 230.1 bhp and cant remember the torque(print off is in the house) but was more than happy with the results.
So today when my first run on the dyno was 14bhp down 216bhp i was a little disheartened tho it was 70°F so much hotter than last time but still a little gutted as i was feeling the car a little down on power but thought it was my imagination! Anyway once the stage 1 APR map was loaded on after checking all files where good no fault codes....nightmare a coilpack decided to end itself :doh: but the guys at ecotune where amazing and replaced my faulty one with one they had spare from a lambo they worked on :grin: and they also checked and regapped ally spark plugs as they where all waaay out!
Well to get get to the nitty gritty the car made 325.2 bhp and 317.5 ft-lbs!!! I will stick my bad pic of my printout on as soon as i can get my photobucket upload.
The car is completely standard apart from the map and i know there is always different roller results dependent where you go before peple say its optimistic to get these reults with no mods but im not too fussed the car feels night and day either way...Amazing!! So if its 325 or 290 im a happy chappy.
Cant recommend Ecotune enough proper VAG heads and very friendly professional service top quality guys as well.
