Their customer rep at "main base" said expect the pro and sport kit for MKV to be out at the end of May beginning of June. So I guess I'll wait a little longer to get my Prokit. That's all the lower I need to take it. She's my daily driver in the winter snow as well.

I believe some people also have used the kit for the A3 2.0T. They work but aren't designed specifically for the GTI.
Pro kit lowers your car approx 1 inch all the way around. It's compatability with the stock suspension is nice. Gives you a little firmer ride with better cornering, yet it still "gives" a little for the rough road areas. I don't want my car completely slammed. This will lower it a little more then the Euro spec car is stock. Check out Eibachs website. They give you picture examples on how much different springs will drop your car.hakgwai said:

Somewhat rough, but nothing near, say, STI territory. Feels tight and responsive compaired to stock, although its been a while since I've driven it stock so I dont know any more, I like it.
