I think sportlines are sportlines mate, the drop is always the same. Some companys advertise the drop from a standard golf ride height which is 15mm higher than the GTI/ED30/GT.

Thanks for the info :happy2:

The sportlines drop is more than the other eibach's right?
Title: Re: Springs.... pic request
Post by: apollo13 on February 02, 2011, 11:06:32 pm: Yes the other Eibachs are the Pro's. Only about 15mm drop on the GTI.

Some say they cant tell its been dropped.

Post by: ScrupesGTI on February 09, 2011, 10:36:09 pm: I'm awaiting the time off work to fit a set of sportlines and TBH i was kind of worried by the quoted 35/50mm drop, i thought it might have been too low for the speedhumps around here and my drive entrance, but, i've got them and they're going on soon! I'll post a thread with pics so future purveyors of the sportline springs can see a true visual appearance of before and after. Might come in useful??
Could be soon, I hope! :happy2:

Post by: jeynesey on February 10, 2011, 09:01:15 am: That would be great, cheers!

Post by: ScrupesGTI on February 10, 2011, 05:00:10 pm: It'll be this saturday when i crawl under the car, skin all my knuckles, probably half bleed to death and crack myself in the nuts to boot...... but i will have these fitted at the end of it all! :grin:

I'll post some pics when it's all done! :happy2:

Post by: apollo13 on February 10, 2011, 05:07:28 pm: Not a GTI/ED30 but here is my GT with sportlines and 18"

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fm520%2Fapoll013%2FDSC01363.jpg&hash=82c853b11ba257f4f2db9bdcdd90241883ae4f18)

They say its a 35/50mm drop but like I said before the GTI/ED30 and GT are already 15mm lower than standard so its really a 20/35mm drop...

They have only been on a week or so and I'm hoping they will settle a bit.
Title: Re: Springs.... pic request
Post by: ScrupesGTI on February 10, 2011, 06:02:04 pm: So after a week on the car.... whats your verdict???
Title: Re: Springs.... pic request
Post by: apollo13 on February 10, 2011, 06:19:59 pm: Well I don't drive the car much but it handles much better in the corners and is slightly firmer but not spine breaking in anyway.

I can't complain as they only cost me £50 :grin:
