Golf VR6 suspension options ... which are good makes and which are to be avoided!?

The H&Rs are eye watering I'm afraid, about

Do H&R springs provide a softer ride than Eibach springs? As far as I know they both provide a 30mm drop. I didn't realise this drop increases over time... will it really increase by a further 5mm over a year or two?

I was assuming I'd have to give coilovers a miss due to the price. I can afford them at a stretch but want to save money for a house at the same time!! usual story.

Anyway I may well stick with Koni shocks as so far everyone says they are the ones to go for... so it's now either eibach springs or H&R springs. How are they both different? Ideally I want minimum wallowing and extremely stable cornering without the ride being too much harder than standard. Are H&R springs the ones to go for... are Eibachs equally as good but offer a slightly harder ride?

if your keeping the original 15" bbs alloys then you will notice much lower sitting position of the car lowered by 30mm - without it being over the top and having to watch for sleeping policemen etc ..... i'll send you a pic if you want ... depends what you're after at the end of the day

Hi did you have a pic you could email me please? Would give me an idea how it will look afterwards. Thanks for all your help guys.

Has anyone had their car lowered 30mm on standard 15" alloys to be able to tell me what it will look like? Any pics?

Thanks for any info.
