H&R Supersports giv a1.9 fr and rr
I think Eibach pics are on coil's. Every mkv I've seen on Eib. sportline springs sits a little high in the front. The pic is when I was on them, that's why I switched to H&R s/s springs. Eibach ad's the S/L springs to drop .2" (almost 1/4") more in the front, but the drop is even.
Stock or aftermarker shocks/ struts, snobrdrdan?
Those were with Sachs Racing dampers (from a Autotech ClubSport Kit)
Will 225/35/19 rub on H&R Supersport's?

i have the autotech clubsport kit right now, but will be picking up my buddy's H&R supersports this spring so my setup will be similar. the autotech has no rake, which is what gives the same illusion as what people were talking about with the sportlines.
i haven't seen anyone on this forum running ground controls yet. i looked into it a while back, but never really got very far.
Hey Guys, quick question. What is everyone thoughts on going H&R super sports with the Koni yellows as opposed to just going with the H&R sport cup kit? Is the matched spring/shock better then mixing the H&R with konis? or are they fine?
I imagine it'd be fine with the Koni's. KW coilovers use Koni struts, so they are very good.
I have the old sport cupkit with 2.2" front drop and 1.6" rear drop (2006/2007 GTI's, 08+'s are .6" lower due to the Euro springs), but now I have super sport springs with the same H&R cupkit struts. Honestly, I think the struts are the same as the new sport cupkit that advertises a 1.9" drop all the way around for 2006/2007's, and 1.3" all around for 08+'s. Based on that, I'm pretty sure the new sport cupkit uses the super sport springs.
Anyhow, I've never had experience with Koni struts, but I hear they're good. A buddy of mine had them (they're adjustable correct?) combined with H&R sport springs and he did very well at autox. He liked that you could change the damping settings. That said, I do love my sport cupkit. It's pretty taut and I'd say it has higher springs rates i.e. more taut than FK coilovers. I'm not sure if H&R manufactures their own struts, but I believe H&R coilovers use Bilstein struts as they're yellow. The sport cupkit struts are painted gray, but who knows, maybe they are Bilstein?
Either way, I'd say both setups are good. What are you planning on using the car for?
