Damper to match to VWR springs?

My local roads are pretty terrible too so I'm thinking of trying the new VWR dampers + springs combo. I like the idea of a bit less roll and tightening things up, but really don't want it any crashier than it already is :smiley:

For less roll the ARB are much more important than the dampers and springs, I think, although stiffer springs will help to reduce body roll.
I'd recommend VWR+B8 dampers for mk6 with H&R ARB 26/22 mm or Eibach Pro-Kit+Koni FSD with H&R ARB 26/22 mm (soft setting at the front and stiff setting at the rear). Either option will please you, I think.
I highly doubt you'll find comfier sport springs than Eibach Pro-Kit, though.

Thanks for that, again :smiley:
Would these be the right Eibach springs? - http://www.eibachshop.co.uk/eibach-prokit-performance-spring-kit-e10850140622_p31224005.htm?gclid=COjm86jSxcwCFesW0wodtXcLqQ#.Vyyn6mz2ZaQ

Well, the Eibach Pro-Kit springs for GTI are only sold for American cars. The correct part number is 85100.140. That should work too, although I don't know the difference between the one from the link and the American version.

OK thanks! They would have to be imported then as I can't find a UK supplier!
