I didn't like the H&Rs on my Rocco. The DCC only really worked in sport afterwards. Comfort setting just didn't know what to do with itself :laugh:

No DCC on the facelift as standard any more. :happy2:

What Eibach spring set did you get as looking for the same drop? Looks the dogs gonads, how are the finding the drop to live with? Has the suspension dropped any further since you dropped her.

I have just fitted the Eibach Pro lowering springs to my Mk2 Leon.
The ride is still comfortable, the height has dropped by around 30mm and the stiffness has improved! Would recommend.

Mine is also dropped on Eibach Sportsline Springs and standard shocks - very nice ride, not crashy or harsh, I am very impressed

I have Eibach Sportlines with Bilstein Sprint shocks on my GTI and can also say that the rear end does sit higher than the front. I also replaced a fair amount of bushings while upgrading springs and shocks so I can only speak for the operation as a whole but the chassis does feel very solid and it does ride alright too despite the Bilsteins. The controlled rebound with the Bilsteins in higher speeds is just lovely though... :driver:
I am not totally convinced with the Eibach springs however as they don't give the stance I wanted to and I feel they are causing a little bit of flightyness at the rear end that my car didn't have with the stock setup. Of course I can't say whether it is the springs or shocks that is causing this as I changed them at the same time. Nonetheless, I already have acquired a set of H&R springs and will soon be swapping my Sportlines for the H&R's so I can then report how the lowering and handling is between the springs with the same Bilstein shock!
Here's a pic of my car how it stands with the Sportlines:
