I need a bit of advice (hopefully quickly) as I might have made a boo boo trying to get my car back on the road.

It's a 2007 tfsi 2.0, when I bought it I eventually found out it had H&R springs on it. The VAG garage I took it to said it was lowered roughly 15mm which seems pretty meagre.

Took it to a garage today for an MOT and both the back springs have gone, not knowing exactly what parts were on it I've ordered a full set new (front and back) through europerformance. They didn't have H&R's in stock so I was recommended eibachs, as they're in stock and a better, cheaper spring.

However looking at the part number I'm worried it's far too low. The car already looked pretty low as it was and no offence to anyone else, I don't want it looking chavvy.

45-50/35 http://eibach.suspensiondirect.co.u...rtline-E20-81-009-02-22_16896_18_707_4187.jsp

I'm right thinking that springs aren't adjustable height wise and only coilovers can do that?

I've never seen older H&R springs which spec 15mm, so I'm sceptical about what the VAG garage told me.
Just slightly worried what I've ordered is far too low considering there's the pro kit at 30/30 http://eibach.suspensiondirect.co.u...ro-Kit-E10-81-009-05-22_16894_18_707_4187.jsp

They are not adjustable. If your car already looks low, I can guarantee that the previous springs were not a drop of 15mm. I have sportlines fitted on my FR and the stance is perfect. These will be fine once fitted and have had time to settle
