Morning all,

I'm trying to find a pic of a VRS Estate that's been lowered 20-30mm ideally (I believe the Eibach pro kit was pretty common)? I've got my new wheels to go on and they've got a really good offset so they sit out nicely in the arches but the car still looks like it's on stilts so I want to get it lowered but without spending too much....

Having read up the Eibach pro spring kit sounds like a good option, in the past I've always avoided changing springs and always gone for whole new suspension but I'm doing this on a budget so need to find a low cost solution... A mate said he can fit the springs so it's literally just the cost of them which seems pretty reasonable!

Someone showed me this pic of an Estate which looks pretty much how mine is going to so I just wanted to see if anyone has had one lowered with springs?

stock ride height:

-20mm on eibach springs (and konis):

-45mm on weitecs (too low for daily use):

As it is now, -35mm, perfect:

stock ride height:

Thanks, but the FL car seems to sit a hell of a lot lower as standard! Mine is really high!!

Agreed /\

vRS Pagey, (Lee) has the same 30mm lowering springs on his, pm him he has some before and after shots somewhere, he sent me them. http://briskoda.net/forums/user/41023-vrs-pagey/

The same as me, not you :yes:

Thanks for that, certainly looks miles better!!!

I think 40mm may be called for though....

This was taken at the mot center where they were fitted,( and the top of the tyre is cast in shadow) settled a lot more since
