which springs give the most drop? Right now my gf have the eibach sportline, but she wants her to be lower. Any suggestions? Perfer to stick with springs.

a race setup would probably yield the most dramatic drop if you want to stick with springs. It will also result in a harsher, bouncier ride.

I'm running Vogtland Sport springs and Koni adjustable shocks ... it gave me about a 1.5" drop up front and 1.4" in rear. If you go with a race setup, you're looking at 2"-2.25" drop.

H&R cupkit is my reccomendation, I have PSS Coilovers on my wifes Jetta, and we purchased H&R cup kit for my daughters Jetta. The coilovers are dumped and next to the H&Rs they sit the same, the handling is great on both of them.

well the drop on my gf's car is very close to or the same as Brk4Euros. She recently installed some 18" and she want it so that there is no gap.

I'll try to get a better picture, but this will give you an idea of the drop on her car. So any other suggestions for springs?

I have the neuspeed race springs on my golf... 2in. drop all the way around... stiffens it up nicely. im happy with it. It eliminates the wheel gap pretty good. oh and i have 18's as well.

kool turby, i got the same wheels on mine too. not by choice though. had to go budget since i will be getting my rc's refinished. Cheap insurance didnt want to replace my wheels instead they wanted to refinish at 400 doolars a pop!!. I could do it somewhere else for about 70 bucks a rim. anyways took the money and bought those same wheels and got new tires too!!!
