I ran the Eibach coilovers on the GTI just as Hurdy is and for the money I thought they were top notch, if money was no object I'd probably go for some KW's or Bilstein coilovers.

The Eibach Pro S coilovers are great. I don't really need damping and spring rate adjustment, so they are a really good set - especially for what I paid for them :happy2:
They have now done approx 10k miles and are still as tight as ever. :smiley:

So we have
H&R 30mm drop GTI Springs only 200 euros
H&R Suspension Kit GTI 20-35mm drop 520 euros

The kit is including dampers :happy2:

Does anyone have the part number for the H&R's? I've found a set on German eBay but would just like to double check that they are the genuine thing (and what I am actually after). Sadly my German language has seen better days :scared:
I think the dampers will atleast be up to the challenge for the time I will own the car. People run into trouble when they fit lowering springs to dampers that have seen 70k etc. Then you just asking for trouble.
Think of it this way: by the time they are shagged, you will be tempted with another mod ----> new dampers.

Saying that they are much cheaper from Orange Tuning! :wink:

i have spoken to loads of people about this now and the eibach sportlines lower the gti/ed 30 by 25 mm as do the h&r s , the h&r are aparently a little stiffer than the eibach s
eibach say that dont need to change the standard dampers unless they have covered a fair few miles as in good condition the spring will not wear them at all , if they are fairly worn the new springs will in deed speed up there demise !!!!!
if you go for the eibach dampers they are same as oem but 25% uprated !!!
told this by eibach them selves they are just up the road from me :happy2:
having sportlines fitted on thursday :jumpmove:
