Pic Request: Mk4 with Eibach springs

[tasty_kebab]

Anyone with the above? Not looking for coilover pics, just a normal suspension (non-coilover) that runs on Eibach springs.

Thanks very much!

 

[Ric 2001]

Also looking, anyone with fsd's and eibach spring too. Sick of my harsh ride.

any coilover pics?

 

[T. Spark]

I have Eibach coilovers on mine... if anyone wants them, I can throw up a few

 

[tasty_kebab]

T.Spark that would be great. Any pics would be appreciated. What height are you running your coilovers at, or rather, how much of a drop do you have?

 

[rashcupra]

ive got fk coilovers i can throw a few pics up if any1 wants????

 

[tasty_kebab]

Cool, how much of a drop do you run on rash? (tongue twister!)

 

[rashcupra]

ive lowered the front about 50-60mm and the rear is on the bottom setting about 80mm

 

[T. Spark]

Here ya go :

Mine is lowered around the 50mm mark on the front (just about right for look imho but bad for sump!) and 60mm on the back, tho wish it could go down more on the back, but got told thats as low as it will go

 

[Rosco906]

Diesels can be to low on front or you'l rip the sump apart

 

[CHR15B]

Certainly can, I had a hell of a time with my Mk2 Toledo being lowered - also a TDI.

I feel the Mk4 (Maybe only the TDI?) sits too high at the back, its as if its always leaning forward... which is a shame.

 

[Rosco906]

^^^ certainly does sit to high as mines is a derv.

saying that running 15's on the front and 17's rear wont help either lol.

Glad the car aint been used much the now

So do the pics that T.spark took show his car with coilovers? Does anyone have eibach lowering springs on OE suspension? is that possible? am i being stupid?

Bare in mind that i know next to nothing about cars and more about skateboards and computers!

 

[T. Spark]

That is my car with full coilovers on yes. Could go lower on the front if I really wanted, but with the LCR Splitter on (not on any of the pics) there is about a fag packet on its side clearance! It lasted a week without being ripped off!

Id say a 40mm drop on the front and 60mm on the back would be healthy for my car, but I want it alot lower all over.

I've got Eibach on at the moment. Only lower it about 20mm

Bubsy ur car is sittin really nice, thats exactly the kinda height Im looking to get. Thanks for posting man.

I agree, that 20mm eliminates the big gap between the arch and the wheel that looks so crap on the standard car, well at least on my Sport.
How much does a set of springs cost and how does it affect warranty if at all?

seriously considering getting some. that and some 20mm spacers just to look nicer really. does it effect ride comfort?

 

[rashcupra]

spacers not only do they make it look so much better they also transform the handling!

I called up for a quote on rear spacers and the guy said that it was a bad idea to change the track of the rear wheels alone. any comment rash?
