Title: lowering springs
Post by: GTI 500 on July 06, 2020, 09:39:24 am

Thinking of lowering my Mk5 Gti, can you guys recommend the best springs to go for, only looking to drop a little as planning to fit 19 inch wheels later on.

AP and ST do a 20mm kit, Eibach have the 15mm Pro springs and H&R do a 30mm kit.

Probably eibachs.

I have h&r but they lower more and may not suit with 19's.

Here’s mine on H&R springs and with Bilstein B8 dampers. Standard 18” Monza alloys and no spacers.
