Title: Are these lowering springs ok for my tdi
Post by: k909 on October 17, 2013, 03:49:20 pm: Sorry noob here :jumpmove:

Im looking for lowering springs, not coilovers.

Looking at these at the minute, but want to know im buying the right thing before spending precious dough...
And also am i able to get these fitted without needing to buy new shocks etc?

Much better service and better prices too.

I had Eibach Sportline on stock dampers and JOM coilovers - JOMs rode more comfortably and handled better.

This is covered in another post that was on here recently.

But safety wise, is handling wasnt a huge concern, would these springs be all i need?

You'll have better handling and a much firmer ride if you do.
But if you're going to do that, you might as well buy coilovers.

AP Coilover's FTW! :happy2:
