Anyone knows what’s different in the sport suspension compared to standard when you opt for 19” in the configurator ?

Don't have this but from reviews of this combination on most cars, bigger wheels (less rubber) + sports suspension = bumpy / hard ride especially on poor condition roads 🚘

When you select 19" in configurator it changes the suspension to sport, so the 18" base GTI has different dampers?

Sport Suspension for 19" wheels

  • —GTI front shock absorbers
  • —GTI rear shock absorbers

Stiffer springs and dampers, lowered ride height of 15mm.
You were right. Found this for the eibach pro kit springs
Eibach Pro Kit – Volkswagen Golf MK8 GTI/GTD
Lowering:
15-20mm Front
10mm Rear
Not suitable for clubsport models or cars spec’d with 19″ wheels with the mandatory sports suspension package (this kit will fit but will NOT lower the car) If your Golf GTI/GTD has the sports suspension you will need the Sportline kit to lower your vehicle
