Title: Up rated springs for Ed30
Post by: MaverickFSI on July 27, 2011, 10:14:09 pm: Hi chaps,

Could you advise a good set of springs for a Ed30 please?

Thanks.

However, H&R supersport springs and Eibach sportline springs are lower and retain a bit of comfort.
I used to have the Eibach sports and now have H&R supersports. Both had similar drop and comfort,
but H&R was a bit lower at the front end, and is the reason I swapped them

We can do these for £190 delivered for forum members :happy2:

There are a set of 50mm H&R springs for the Golf 5 that are listed as being for the 2.0 FSI, 2.0 TDI etc so I think these would be fine for the GTI. However, H&R don't have the GTI listed for these so we don't put them in the GTI section. Personally I think 30mm is enough on standard dampers and gives a good stance.

Don't really think this is any help for you with this being in the US, but they usually have lowest prices:

In answer to your question "No"

GNJ Motorsport are talking about 30mm drop springs and the ones you have posted up from Awesome are 35mm drop.

Same makes but different drops
