Trekmeister:
Whats the difference between sportsline and pro springs? Do VW do oe lowered springs for gt tdi with a 20mm drop?

Sportlines are lower and stiffer than Pros. That's why stock dampers are able
to handle the Pros much better than the Sportlines.
Volkswagen Original Eqipment = Driver Gear are very popular in the USA:

Trekmeister:
Would the stock GTI dampers and springs be a straight swap onto the GT TDI or could I use the sportslines with some stock GTI springs, if so are these a cheaper option than the bilstein?
Bikerz:
If you have a GT why would you want GTI dampers and springs? I would say it might go slightly lower as gti might have less stiff springs on front, however I doubt it would handle any better!

Basically I want a slight drop nothing too drastic, want to keep a firm stiff ride but don't want to go overboard and replace the whole suspension system and I don't want coilovers. I was a little concerned the eibach pros might decrease my ride handling and give me a softer ride. I know when my rear spring was changed it was with a OE sports spring.
