I've had Eibach 30mm springs on for over a year now. I'm really impressed with these springs. They still perform as new. With them on, you get a proper sporty feel on the road. You feel every bump but the car feels more stable and cornering is a breeze. Also, when you pull away from standstill and change gears, you don't get as much intertia, so its alot more smoother! I put 30's on mine initially for the sporty look, but I was really impressed with the performance aswell.

Eibach lower 30mm is approved by VAG.. so the damage to the original shock is minimal (only i think, and that's why i installed them)

Yup, standard shocks on my 9n, just changed the springs. If anything, they perform better with the standard shocks! If you want a sporty feel, get these Eibachs, any other make will sag really quickly. Eibachs are a stiff as anything!

The ride quality is superb, like I said, you can really feel the difference in road handling. So you dont have standard shocks?
