In the long run it was the wiser decision to make. Everyone here praises them. :happy2:
Deako:
Hope you got the B8s from the same seller as me. I save about £300.

My car sits quite unevenly on all 4 and I'm not sure if eibachs would sort that out as they lower the front more?? If I do get them, which shocks do I get as I don't want a very firm ride?
It's a 1.6 FSI

You might have the dampers not evenly "dead". These springs "kill" OEM dampers much more rapidly. If you still have your OEM dampers from your 1.6 FSI, your dampers aren't as prepared for the springs as the GTI dampers are (-20 mm drop from normal suspension).
For these springs you need Bilstein B8, Koni Sport, or other with similar specs.
Konis are sold with H&R springs as suspension kits while Bilsteins are sold with Eibach springs.

@shoduchi I've got standard springs and shocks atm and they need to be changed soon so B8s and sportlines it might be!
Do the sportlines drop a gti by 50mm? If that's the case then I'd have to go for the pro kit wouldn't I?
Appreciate the help mate
