Any one got pics of either of these on their cars? Looking at there stance. Pls
-
GTIs only have one part reference for H&R -30 mm springs.
Eibach sells Pro-Kits (will only lower around 10-15 mm) and Sportlines (will lower around 30 mm). The Sportlines are very similar to H&R -30 mm, but you'll notice the rear a bit higher than the front, compared with H&R springs. :wink:
You can see pictures from Sportlines (initial pictures) and from H&R -30 mm (last pictures) in my Ed. 30 project.
I have Eibach Pro-Kits in my GT Sport. It rides much higher.
-
Don't forget the VWR springs, similar drop to the 2 mentioned and still give a ride close to OEM.
I'm sure there are loads of pics of all 3 setups if you have a search...
-
So the H&Rs will sit better
-
Ive got sportlines on mine, 2 people in the last week who had h&r's 30mm from this forum said that my sportlines look a little lower at the front.
But i agree that h&r are lower at the back which give the car an equal lower look . eibachs are a little high on the rear

I defy anyone to actually tell the difference between H&R springs vs Eibach without knowing what is actually fitted
Both are a good choice as good as each other and provide the same drop and stance
Peeps with Eibach say go for Eibach and peeps with H&R say H&R - either or in my opinion

I had Eibachs Sportlines and changed to H&R -30 mm. I think I can tell the difference easily. The stance is a bit different. :wink:
For me H&R suit better my Koni Sport dampers, hence the change. I love how my Ed. 30 rides now with the handling upgrades I've done to it. :smiley:

Just to add i have eibachs sportline on standard tdi shocks, drove a gti with sportlines and it was a bit harsher. Probably because of different shocks that's why

That looks spot on. What car do you exactly. I have a Jetta bkd so hoping for similar drop. Are they the 30mm pro? I can't find sportlines with just 30mm drop.

So its a golf tdi sport which is 15mm lower from the factory than standard tdi height.
The eibachs sportlines are 40-45mm lower than standard so they are 30mm lower than sport height.
I think i have a bkc engine. Its a dsg so a bit heavier at the front too.

Eibach Sportlines have a different part number for Golfs with DSG to compensate the different weight. :wink:

VW racing springs. Was originally going for H&R but was recommended these and have been very happy with them; stance and ride quality just what I was after
