Obviously you were going for looks. My mk4 GTI handled like a Buick; the stock shocks were horrible. Not bashing, just depends what you are looking for.redGTI said:I'm with Shifty x2. Against all naysayers (sp) I went with Eibach Sportlines on my stock MK4 GTI struts, 4 years later the struts are still good...:thumbsup:
I dont know why VW told you this because I find it hard to believe. If you put aftermarket springs on your car and your shocks or something of that nature blow, it wont be covered under warranty. I promise they will say something along the lines of "the factory shocks arent designed to work with aftermarket springs and the new springs caused the shocks to fail prematurely and will not be covered under warranty". Think about it logically, you modified the suspension and then something goes wrong...they are gonna say its because of the modification.HotLanta MKfizzle said:I've talked to VW about this issue. Your only voiding your warranty on the springs, not the shocks, bushings, control arms etc.... Any problem you have because the car is lowered a.k.a. bottoming out is also gonna be a problem. If you don't know how to drive a lowered car, then don't fuck with it. If you do... go ahead, because any springs that are put on right won't cause any problems. I also talked with VW about the Eibach pro-kit being offered as an upgrade thru drivegear, and they told me they don't know for sure yet, but if it is and you have the install done at a dealership it will be covered under warranty (just keep the part numbers from the eibach box or packing slip)
