Springs
Been looking at the VWR ones for my gti if you had these fitted its still in warrenty am I right? But they dont drop it that far by the pictures ive seen? if not what springs are the best?
Springs
Ones matched with dampers. The VWR springs Re supposedly matched to the factory damper rates so they should be good. Try and find the supplier to VWR though, you will get them much cheaper if they aren't painted bright blue.... Like their intakes.....
Re: Springs
Honestly mate, ive seen a polo with VWR springs fitted, and i actually had to ask if it had been lowered. Obviously they stiffen the ride up to improve handling, etc. but if you want a noticable difference id go with the H&R 35 - 55. Have these on mine, stance is perfect. Yes the ride is a little more bumpy, but the GTI isnt the smoothest ride from factory. Plus theres a set in the for sale section i think for £80 rips. VWR like Gavs said are a fortune for what they are. Hope that helps you mate.

Re: Springs
Get coilovers? only voids the warranty on the suspension parts and how many cars you know that have suspension trouble from new?
Re: Springs
Hahaha how many new cars have power steering pumps go faulty from new
I think mine was either a sneeky recall or some smoke and mirrors. As i had had no symptoms up until the get in it to drive.
but yep coilovers are the way i will be going. How low can you actually go without cutting the collars?
