eibach or H&R springs??

[sportbilly]

OK took the plunge and ordered some sportlines today. Should get the car in the next couple of weeks so they can go straight on.

 

[DamianPM]

is there any difference in the springs between a mk2 2.0tdi and a 1.9tdi? or does the same springs fit both cars?

Same springs for both the EIbach and H&R.

Once you drop a car on "uprated" springs, what options do you then have in the future if you wanted to tweek the ride height again? ie: drop the car a bit lower all round / or only drop the rear a bit more....

Could you simply buy adjustable shocks, to go with your existing lowered springs?
Or would you have to replace everything (including your uprated Springs) with a Coilover kit ?

Thankyou in advance.

ps: +1 to the 'dropped with Eibach Sportlines' = mine.

Mine on H&R's and standard shocks.

Damian, in your expert opinion (also as per my Post 23 above)..

No, to adjust the height the only option would be new springs or coilovers.

Great - thankyou for your speedy clarification.

......therefore, I'll be taking a look at your website for a set of Coilovers then!

You managed to park it nicely between the lines though!!

 

[cupra09]

nice. So are they comparible to the pro-kit or sportlines, height wise

Hard to tell, are those 19's?

i had both in my car but i prefered eibach because they are a bit better in sense compared to the H&R springs...

I hope you're not suggesting I drink and drive!!

Hey all, recently purchased eibach sportlines and was wondering whether you need to replace axle bolts for new ones? Think I read some where it's advisable...anyone shed any light on this??

When I had my Sportlines fitted, no mention of axle bolts was mentioned. Straight swap.
Old springs removed, Sportlines fitted - Alignment and tracking carried out - all ready to go!

[davidwmcc]

thanks to beeko85 i went ahread and bought the eibach springs. im very happy with the outcome car looks brill and ride is much the same or better. i highly recommend these springs to anyone

 

[fr_jay]

why is there no seat approved lowering springs for the 2.0tdi dpf170?

 

[sportbilly]

because its got the already (what they consider) lower suspension already. I think the springs which are available are to make the not sporty model the same height as the FR.

maybe they need to look up the deffinition of lowering a car then...
