What springs are you using? Do you have any problems scraping the bottom lip? I was thinking of getting an air bags to raise and lower but a bit too much.

can the rear and front go any lower or is that as low as they can go? do you recommend these coilovers as everday driving with a drop that low or should I just go with eibach sportlines?

The rear is actually all the way down....which im not a 100% happy with but its a decent drop with better ride quality. We just installed the KW's on my friends jetta and the rear on his did the same. When i compare these coilovers to the Eibachs when i had them...I think it was a better ride quality with eibachs. coilovers make it a little stiffer ride but they are a lot lower than the eibachs. The ride isnt that bad with the coilovers but then again i dont drive it except for the weekends. I basically went for lowness and driveability. Cant take the turns as hard but it looks better.


The Hood i got from Racing Solutions..

do you get any vibrations from the car being that low like you did with H&R springs? also is your front higher right now compared to the H&R springs installed?

you get a little vibration under hard acceleration from a stop. But i believe they are sitting pretty close to where the h&r's were sitting
