Hi.
i have the PI springs fitted -35mm on 2011 plate 1.4 Copa. Love it!
Just the right height, not crashy but firm. i fitted these when the car was 2 days old and 50 miles. all the bolts just slid out, no rust or crud anywhere it was bliss:funk:. i've done 10,000 miles now and all is good on the suspension. shame the same can't be said of the gear box as the driveshaft seals have gone, so it's going back in tomorrow under warranty. i wouldn't mind if it was a high miler but i only use it at weekends as i have to use a van for business every day.

You're definitely tempting me about the springs! Always love a recommendation.

Gear box issue sounds horrendous! Thought these VAG's were reliable :/

Don't get me wrong I love coilovers had a set on every car! But when you do a 60 mile daily commute your spine begins to break I want looks but a little less painful

Do you have these fitted yet? Have seen them really cheap on ebay but don't know anyone that's tried them.

Yep they are fitted, but cos of how lil my posts are still, I can't post pics yet. Which sucks, so will show once I have over 15 photo's. :thumbup:

Wanting lower though, as have an idea, and i'm used to stanced owning stanced motors.
