Lowering springs

Featured Replies

If I fit a set of Vrs springs onto my 1.9 TDI PD will the car sit lower and are the Vrs springs compatible with the current shocks on my car ?,is it an easy swap job or do I have to replace some shock/spring mountings or even the shocks ?,I am intending to slightly lower the car as it sits horribly high especially at the back and it feels slightly unstable at higher speeds,I was thinking of lowering it say between 20 and 30 mm and thought the Vrs springs might do the trick,car is sitting on 16'' original alloys .If Vrs springs can't be fitted does anyone recommend other lowering spring makes....

I don't see any reason why you can't fit vRS springs, but you may be better going for a set of Eibach or some other make if you want a significant drop, I've just ordered a set of Pi springs which lower the vRS by 30mm from standard, I think they do a set for your car offering up to -50mm.

How lower is a Vrs from an Ambiente ? mine rides on 16'' rims,don't want to lower it a lot,if i fit the Rs springs anyone has any idea by how much the car will be lowered ? 20 to 30 mm is fine for me,50 is too much I think,this is a car I use daily,don't want a stiff ride,only want to lower it as it's a bit of a roly poly in corners and the back end sits too high ....

Was referring to ride height :P ...... Street cred wise i think both look good,the standard octy looks very very very nice and the Vrs looks a bit more meaner...

In terms of street cred or ride height? :rofl: :rofl:

:thumbup:

I don't think the drop is that much maybe -10mm, but they are uprated and will give a slightly harder ride, I still think your best opition would be to go for an after market set.
