Title: Edition 30 - Eibach Sportlines Feedback and Photo Request
Post by: George on February 05, 2012, 12:36:22 pm

Hi all,

I'm looking to order some Eibach Sportlines for my Edition 30 soon. Can anyone who's already got these fitted give me some feedback regarding the handling and ride please?

Also any photos would be great!

Thanks  :happy2:

I have sportlines on a GTI, the ride is great, not really any change from stock.

It has lost a little of its playfulness. I put this down to the fact that it has added a bit more camber on the back (I havent had an alignment done) - and so there is more rear grip. Good for speed but its not as entertaining as it was.

The drop aesthetically is great for my needs. I always like em low but atleast this is still practical.
