Since fitting my B8's and 40mm H&R springs I think the car looks too low on cyclones.I have some fairly new standard springs sat in the garage, will the B8's work effectively with standard springs? My other option is to whack on my 17's which don't look so bad on a lowered car. Also, what coloured paint dots should be on standard springs? (just to make sure I do have GTi ones!) |

Ditch the h&r and get some eibachs. There is absolutely no chance that a standard spring would work effectively with b8s ________________________________________ FRESHLY RE-FURBISHED GTI BEAMSFITTING AND LOWERING AVAILABLE.

But is the 10mm difference between the Eibachs and H&R springs going to be that noticeable? |

If you want to run standard ride height B6's are what you want i believe.B8's are the same but designed for the shorter spring |

Hmm, I dont want to sell what I've already got in terms of dampers. And I also really dont think ........ (10mm) is much of a difference. Man up and accept the new ride height? |
