Hi guys I have a mk6 golf gti with acc/dcc what everyone you call it.
Ideally want to lower the car so need some advise on springs which is the best to work with the acc/dcc.
I will also be fitting arbs any recommendations on which ones and sizes will be great.
Thanks will

H&R's are always a good option, a lot will depend on how low you want to go?

I am in the same boat myself with wanting to lower mine and have acc/dcc
Have heard good things about H&R springs but personally never tried them.
Has anyone got pictures of their MK6 gti on springs so can see on what sort of drop springs gives

MANY years ago, we successfully used the 60/40 split rear seat to stow a pram in endways, and that was a two seater (pram, not Golf...).
Can't remember if baby went in rear facing seat in the front and toddler in back or vice-versa, but it worked well for us.
