I've never heard of them. My advice would be stick to the suspension recommend on the forum. Remember you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

Go for a known quality setup such as H&R or Eibach. Both can be had for between £100-200

Use the search function for pics of cars lowered on either of the above springs  :happy2: - I'm guessing that would be your next question  :grin:

-35mm I think that's all they do for the GTI. Bought mine from Larkspeed as they were the cheapest at the time
