Yes, this is a photo right after they were installed. I am glad I learnt about the TT spring pads otherwise I would have reverse rake (I'm a 6MT). Since the install they have settled a little bit and are lower than in this pic. I can get a better picture for you tomorrow.

Just an FYI about Eibach sportlines

In MOST applications, they're softer than stock.

I had them on a previous car, and they looked good, but man did they kinda suck lol.

Interestingly enough, the VW DG springs look like they're made by hiperco.

If that's the case, and you know what you want, you can call them up and have them make you a set of springs for a non-insane price. Obviously you have to wait a bit to get them, but hiperco kinda kicks ass. Also they cold wind their springs, so they never sag or wear out.

Clean, I have to say that height is exactly what I'm looking for. Looking forward to an updated picture of it settled.

Steddy, I'll have to look up Hyperco. I've never heard of them. I'm new to the spring world

DG springs are made by Mubea in Europe.

Thank you Clem. I need to go shoot some photos of my car now for a side by side photo. Looks great by the way!

Thanks, I think it will look even better when I put in spacers and push wheels out a little bit.

I've got a Burger Motorsports flush kit waiting to be installed. I'm goin g in reverse order apparently. Lol

Noted.

Got excited there for a second. Hyperco springs kick ass. Ran a set of custom springs from them on a previous ride and would sincerely give them a go again.

I’ve had good luck with ECS spacers.

Had 15 front / 20 rear to start (flush kit). Thought it was a bit wide. Went down to 10 front / 15 rear.

And so, I have 2 lightly used 20mm spacers with bolts sitting in a box in the garage. Fire me a PM if you’re interested.

Hey thanks for the offer, I currently have a set of ECS 10mm and 12.5mm spacers from my MK5 that I'm going to try out. If it doesn't look the way I want I may just want to take you up on those 20mm.

Sure. I agree, with the stock rims, you should be good to go with the ones you have.

I would go flush. Looks soooo much better.

Been running Pro Kits on stock dampers since last summer. Mild drop. Just about dead level front/rear. Near stock ride quality. No issues what so ever.

Looks good Gravy! Maybe a hair lower than I want to go.
