They are Linear, I believe they fit all MK7 but I would confirm the part numbers the ones I am selling are E10-85-041-01-22

It was a .5 inch drop but might be more for you since the R is lower.

Eibach Pro Kit is normally a 1" drop on a GTI.
Are the ones selling dual rate? Two different spring windings on the same spring?

Wow talk about being misinformed. Progressive springs have coils that have stiffer coils that are bunched up on on end and the the coils.loosen up and soften towards the other end. Look at my pic again LOL.

I do like the slight forward rake on these. The VWR ride as stiff as I'd want but the stance just doesn't look right. The reverse raking bs seems more noticeable on mines than other ppl's too.

I don't really want to go lower Bc I plan on a proper front lip and don't want to worry about scraping all the time. So these might be an option - cheaper than Coilovers for the time being.

Would like to hear more. Anyone switched to this or to others and can compare?

Sorry this is off topic, but

Hulk, why not just get a set of audi tt rear lower coil pads? ECS tuning sells them for $13 each and it's slightly thicker then the oem coil pad. I was planning on getting a pair when I order my VWR springs

edit: audi part# 8j0512149

Where did you get these Eibach springs from. The Eibach Pro Kit lists as progressive on their site and in the locations i can purchase. Do you have a link to these linear looking springs you purchased?

urotuning lists them as progressive
http://www.urotuning.com/Eibach-Pro-Lowering-Springs-Mk7-GTI-2-0T-1-Drop-p/85117.140.htm

Eibach also lists the spring as progressive rate
https://eibach.com/us/c-176-product...agen-gti-pro-kit-sportline-anti-roll-kit.html

OE rate: 33 N/mm (188 lbs/in)
PRO-KIT Progressive rate: 26-38 N/mm (148-217 lbs/in)
