a bit of luggage in the back, i think they fill the arches perfectly here, not too high or too low

Looks a good ride height there, Eibach would be the safe bet I guess, would like to find some better pic's of a car on the H&R springs before I part with cash and its too cold at moment to be out side playing with the car, i'll wait till better weather gets here and will look at the bilstien dampers at same time so I don't need to pull it apart twice. It does sit very high!!

On stilts

sorry for the random "on stilts" pic didn't attach, operator error

Here's a couple of shots of mine on H&R's Wrighty, it's potentially settled a little more since then, but I don't think the H&R's look a great deal lower than the Eibach's when settled. Sharkrider's car looks pretty low for the claimed 15/25mm

I think the fronts look pretty much the same sparkly, odd that... the back of yours is much lower though,the higher rate higher estate springs show out....

Sparkly, that looks the nuts! have you got spacers on as well, the rear looks bit wider or is that because it is sitting lower? I'm thinking that I will wade straight in and do dampers at same time so's that I don't have to take apart twice, I'm just not sure what way to go on springs as H&R and the Eibach look near enough the same from the pic's of yours and Sharkrider's (yours looks the nuts too Sharkrider!), bit weird as the two company's state quite different measurements but from what reference is any body's guess??

Thanks, no the car isn't spaced, althought I have some 15mm spacers I just need bolts for which I will try on the rear.  At the right angle they are still a bit tucked away.

 

I think my car has settled a little further front and back, but the difference isn't so much as to make you choose one spring or the other.

 

The deciding factor for me Wrighty would be that Eibach and Bilstein seem to have partnered on the B12 kit with both fully endorsing the pairing.  The H&R's I believe are a slightly firmer spring again so might be even sharper than the Eibachs but I have no basis to say this is true, equally you might surmise that the Eibach's bring more comfort.

 

FYI Awesome GTI will fit and align your car after for £150.00 if you buy the kit from them, I would push for any supplier to match that.

First wash today

 

Also fitted some rear mud flaps, the dealer said they don't make rear flaps for the vrs but we all know they do, anyways these one's are off ebay all the way from China (come in a set of 4) and are a bit smaller than the genuine skoda items
