Eibach vs Vogtland

[GTI-G]

Currently have H n R Sports. Ride is pretty rough. Thinking of switching them up. Opinions of these two? Thanks.

I ran Vogtland on my B5.5 Passat... They were really looooow. Like lower than HR sports as that is what I had come from

But what shocks were you running?

Which Eibach's are you referring to exactly? Are you on stock shocks?

I had Vogtlands on my MK5 GTI. Very nice ride. Firm, but not jarring. I just ordered some for my Golf to replace the oh-too-soft VWRs.

I have Eibach Pro-Kit. To be honest, I threw them on after having the car for 3 days, but I never was able to tell any huge difference in how the car felt, comfort wise. From what I know about H&R and the differences in spring rates, the Eibach should be a little more comfortable than the H&R.

Stock. Should have asked for a recommendation for that too ha

Pro kit. Yes.

Stock

There's the problem

If you like the height, just upgrade to some Konis (my personal choice) or some Bilsteins

Generally
Height=springs
Shocks=ride

But what if stock means DCC?

The first question would be why do you want to run a different suspension from stock?

Do you just want a lowered ride height for looks or are you looking for a performance gain?

Two very different answers will ensue based on what you're looking for.

Cant we provide an option for both scenarios?

I like the lowered look but would orefer better ride comfort than i have now. Ive heard Konis suggested before

Konis are good. Bilsteins are a little more stiff

Just go with VWR lowering springs and keep your stock shocks. Ride is very close to stock and will give you a lowered ride height. I had them on my Golf and GTI. For what you're looking for, best bang for the buck.
