Suspension

[64VRS]

Now I know this will have been covered numerous times but what parts of my suspension do I need to change/upgrade to lower my ride height?  

I'm only looking at 20mm to 30mm.  Looking to improve the look and handling of my car. 

 

Any links to members cars cars would be awesome to.

Just springs really. Popular options are eibach Pro-Kit (I've just bought but not fitted yet) for a 20mm drop, or H&R for a 40mm drop, roughly.

 

Few threads recently about both, I've even started one :-)

Cheers stu83, will search for your post! 

Can I be cheeky, how much did you eibach pro-kit cost?

 

Wondered if I'd need to change my shocks too!?

£144 delivered from demontweeks.

 

You shouldn't need to change your shocks if you're only dropping it a few centimetres.

Funnily enough I was reading your post before I posted my suspension post.  

Let me know how you get on when they're fitted!..

 

£144 delivered is cheaper than I thought.  Well up for that!  Know someone that could fit them for me without costing me an arm and a leg too..  mmm..

I just bought (and returned) some H&S springs for my petrol vRS (mk3), part number is 28833-2. They got good reviews and didn't drop as much as Bilstein or Eibach, which is what I wanted.

FYI...if you buy with demontweeks you can get an extra 10% off with a discount code.

 

I think the current one is NEWR17.

Your signature says vRS MK1. Is it actually a MK3 or MK1?

[Sean9090]

Mk1 obviously lol.

[mabnz]

But this is the MK3 forum?
