Not a big difference in ride quality with normal driving. I'm on country lanes to and from work each day and it can be a bit firm over some of the larger bumps. I heard that the H&R springs are way too firm and can be pretty uncomfortable, so went for these.

Hello guys,
I have a question about lowering springs on my polo 6c GTI.
I bought car used with some lowering springs which I am not aware of the brand but I suspect that they are the H&Rs.

Now I am not sure how the car is performing on the factory springs but those lower springs are very stiff for my liking.
So I am in a process of finding new ones which will fill the following criteria :
- Should be lower than the stock but not too much
- Should be sport enough but not too stiff like the ones I am having right now.

I am living in Prague CZ where the roads are mostly cobblestoned and so a really stiff suspension is almost worthless. 😂
So far my options are :
- ST suspension springs
- Eibach Pro kit
- Stock springs
- Vogtland springs
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
