Just springs. Ordered a set from Emmanuele Designs during the holiday sales.
Cool. I hope you don't mind me asking a couple of couple of questions: Is this your daily drive? Any significant difference on the ride (same/stiffer)? How much dropped 1/2", 1"?
TIA
Haha sounds good!
It is my daily. I went with ED because I have DCC and to me it was between them and VWR and these were on sale. Not sure about the ride personally since they dont get installed until next week, but from what I hear they are a tad stiffer but still comfortable. I think they claim 15% on their website. The drop is supposed to be 1.2". I'm sure I'll post some pics after they are installed. Here is a thread with some good information on them: http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21021&highlight=ED+springs
Gotcha! Well, I'm looking forward to read on your initial impressions. If you can take a before and after picture of the gaps (front and back) and post them here, it would be highly appreciated. Or, you can do that at the ED+springs thread (thanks for sharing it and I'm subscribed now).
Cheers!
We might be straying off topic, but if you’re looking for a modest drop and probably the close ride quality to stock, then I suggest the DG springs. I previously had VWRs (1.3” drop) on my last MK7, but went with DGs (about 1” drop) this time. The DGs are extremely close to stock ride quality, and not low enough to potentially cause rubbing issues. They’re also a VW part. I’m having the TT pads installed in the rear to get rid of that little bit of negative rake.

Saw a nice Scooby Doo so snapped a quick photo.

Thanks for sharing this information. I ordered a set of new wheels and I'm a bit concerned about dropping the car to much and then dealing with rubbing issues. I'll definitely look for information on the DGs.
To keep this thread on topic, here is another pic of my MK7....
