im in the market for lowering springs...i just need to get rid of the gap...since im not tracking the car i've made my decision between eibach sportlines and prokit...and will get struts later on when mines goes out...im looking for ride comfort and good handling.

 

i also found a set of axis decade 18x8 all around 35mm offset with yokahama prada spec2 55% thread left locally for 6 bills...been searching for pictures of these on a tt but couldn't find one..

this is teh only one i found from a jetta

 

idk about those wheels... meh...

as for springs... um, you do know youll need a K-Mac kit too right? IMHO i would save for coilovers and get all that shazz over with at once...

but if you want springs also look into neuspeed and h&r

 

I would go with the Eibach Pro Kit and Koni FSD Damper combo. This is one kit that can be had
for $890 bucks. This will lower your car by 28mm which is about 1.1 inches all around.
And YES you will need at least 1/2 a KMAC kit in order to be able to adjust camber after the car is lowered. If you go past 1.1 inch you will need a FULL KMAC kit which is about $279.00 at TT Stuff. Half a kit is $139.00. Without it your tires will wear a lot faster inside and cornering will be hazerdous and not enjoyable.

 

i found a set of ingalls front and rear camber kit for 160ish shipped.... i've heard lots of good news about ingalls..whats soo special about kmac....

im also gonna slap on my new shoes tomorrow, just picked them up today..

 

I would recommend going with the H&R coilovers... I love them! I have done two eibach setups in the past and the H&R's are a much better ride IMO. The eibachs arent a very aggressive drop. They have stated in my other rides they dropped over an inch...that has never been the case in my experience with the Pro Kit.

 

I would hold out for struts+springs, unless you don't mind tearing apart your suspension twice and getting your car aligned twice.

 

I really don't care about the drop. How was the overall ride with the Prokit and aftermarket dampers?

 

The ride wasn't bad and it lowered each car some, Eibach is a good company. I can't talk about the ride quality of them in a TT tho....I don't have them. I wanted something a little nicer, so I went with H&R coilovers. I was just speaking from past experience with Eibach because the OP seemed to be mainly concerned about the drop.

 

How is the ride with the H&R coilovers? Not too harsh? Where is a good place to get them at a good price?
