springs or coil-over?????

[cmcm]

already placed the order of H&R cup kit from Evolution Sports today, I post the pic of the kit when it arrives.
Have to goto UPS to return those springs tomorrow.

How about you put it on bags

it looks rad, but I consider it not done on a 200+ bhp engine... I got a 105ps diesel, so my car defines "low and slow"

i am going to school in Maine right now and i was wondering if neone has experience with lowering a car when the roads are not in such good shape but definatly rideable bcuz my roomate has a 350z and he drives it around.
i was wondering if neone could give advice on how low i should go and what will give me that rideheight?
Thanks

i was just thinkin on putting the h&r springs alone to lower it a bit. simple and better than stock, nothing fancy. will i feel a better ride or would it be a bit more rough than stock? also how much will handling improve on 1.5 inch drop? btw nice site. love the forums. this site will definately grow:bow: . nice ride marcinek:thumbsup:

I originally had the H&R springs and just returned them today and ordered the H&R cup kit suspension (Like the coil-over but unable to adjust the height). The cup kit will drop yr car about 2" and the price of $650/set is pretty reasonable to me.
Not a lot of good words about just replacing the springs alone, and also cost to do the replacing are the same between springs alone and cup kit.
I will post the installation procedure sometime next week.

I'm thinking about doing the same with my future mk5 GTI (something like Peter on Cleaned)

My jaw dropped when I read this, so I did some calling and got the same result. + I remembered that when the GTI's where released guy's were installing the A3 coilovers with no problems!!!:thumbup: fuiiiiiiiii!!! there o their way

You guys have more cojones than me.

I would rather hear from H&R that this is an acceptable match.

I know Evolution Motorsports is well respected but at the end of the day they are just trying to sell you something.

What is the f/r weight difference between the A3 and GTI?

will suspension modifications effect warranty? or is that only for performance mods if found? w/ suspension also meaning like body kit and rims and so forth...

It probably will not affect warranty.

H&R sports drop looks just about perfect, I think I might do that.

For me I don't want to deal with scraping when I pull into places or a ruff ride. Theride in the car is perfect as far as I am concerned. Little bit too much body roll but that can be fixed. I also don't like the fact that the car is 1/2" higher here in the states. So I guess a good 1 1/2" drop?

My thoughts exactly. And H&R sports are 1.5F/1.4R, so perfect. :smile:
