Suspension refresh
J30SBO:
Depends on your front axel weight. If it’s a dsg gti, or a manual/dsg eddy or Pirelli you’d need the front shocks up to 1130kg axel load weight from what I can make out from various suppliers. I have an ed30 so I ordered the same kit awesome have listed for a GTI at up to 1130 front axel weight. Not sure if it makes much difference but thought I’d follow the guidance!

Thanks Bud
I'm viewing an Eddy30 today that has been fitted with "Bilstein B12 Sportline with Eibach springs" Is this the harsher and lowerer kit that Pudding was referring too?
Cheers

Apparently so, it’s a matter of opinion to be fair. What’s too stiff for one may be too soft for another.. see how you get on!

Thanks bud
Eddy was a no no. Suspension was far to harsh and considering it was new it felt worst than my 141k original standard shocks with H&R 30mm lowering springs. Nasty ride, banged and crashed and as for potholes, fook me I nearly had a ruptured spleen!!! Also wasn’t presented well. Dirty, had rust, and albeit the owner had mentioned this in the ad, it wasn’t for me!
