if you want some comfort eibachs are the ones got them on my ride and its well worth it but its a bit more expensive then other springs

Eibach or H&R

Yeh ive decided to go for eibach sportline -50mm springs with my 16' alloys. Ive just come to order and want to conformation that a mk5 is years 99-01 cause theres 2 options (99-01) or (01-) I just wanna confirm cause dont wanna get it wrong and have to send them off and replace them.

I just wacked some 40mm drop Venom springs on me mk4 , they just the same of the spax springs ( from same factory) just not branded and like £20 cheaper
they rock not to hard and not to soft you can feel the road on um but its not uncomfortble

thats strange i bought venoms springs and dampers and they told me they were the g max springs and dampers but without the stickers from the factory!? they are very good though lowers it nicely about 40mm. good ride quality. i was going to go lower but on 195-45-15 its quite low and ive got lots speed bumps around! and my exaust is quite low to the ground, never scraped though even 5 up in car!

mmm thats odd maybe the springs where spax and the dampers with G max ? but it not really matter cos they nice either way

[polopowah]

right well i've got spax coil-overs
after fitting them i read on the box that they are most commonly used for btcc touring cars setup, so at the mo the ride is bouncy as fuk, just gotta fine tune the dampers.
i think the tracking may be out now aswell, cos it tends to steer into bends better, or is that normal?
