Getting my edition 30 next week looking to order some lowering springs for it, don't need coilovers not planning on tracking it.
Can you guys let me know the best springs to get and some pics to go along with it would be great :)
Thank you!

H&r -30mm are decent. I got them on my gti and the ride is pretty much the same if not better. 190 from gnj Motorsport. Or eibach sportlines

When I had it I used Blackfire Wet Diamomd Polish and Blackfire wax ( the name escapes me right now!), also used to like R222 wax on it too.

That sits awesome, going to get my GTI booked in next week or two :congrats:
-
That guys the eibach look the exact height I want :) anyone got a link to the best place to buy them?
Also why cant I send Pms or reply to posts?
-
You need 10 posts mate :happy2:
-
Ah ok thank you :)
-
Eibachs look great on that White ED30, but on other cars they dont look quite that low. I had H&R's on mine which sat a little lower and looked spot on :happy2:
-
I'm looking at getting some eibach sportlines very soon for my gti. I've never had a car lowered before so I just wanted to know if people find that as the car is lower that you have trouble with speed bumps?
Also surely if the car is lowered would you struggle to get the car up onto a hi curb without scraping the bottom on the bumper?
-
ill have some 30 or 35mm h&r springs for sale by the end of this week if anyone wants them
-
Im interested in the springs mate will they fit DSG edition 30??

Pics on my sig link (now have B12 Sportline kit)

Here are all the different wheels I have/had with H&R lowering springs. DSG Ed30. :wink:

I shed a tear seeing the ultraleggera pics :sad1:

Simply love the look of your car, Monte.
Love all the wheels on it - the 19" monzas in particular!
-
So many wheels! looks good man!
-
Eibachs look great on that White ED30, but on other cars they dont look quite that low. I had H&R's on mine which sat a little lower and looked spot on :happy2:
Was thinking the same. The White Eddie looks slightly lower than the black GTI above it on the same springs :confused:

Do you still have the 19" Monza's?
Monte can you confirm you have the H&R Sport springs and not the super sports?
Some of the pics make it look lower than mine (I'm on H&R sport) but maybe the just the angle of the shot.
-
So which springs should I buy???
-
Really happy with the Eibach Sportlines, prefer them a bit to the H&R ones it once had, but much of a muchness really.
-
OK mate thank you I'll take your word for it ordering now :)

OK mate thank you I'll take your word for it ordering now :)
Both are great springs so you will be happy with either :happy2:
