That is such a subjective question. What are your requirements e.g comfort or looks, very low or subtle, asjustable height? adjustable damping? coilovers or springs/shocks.......the possibilities go on.

I would like to keep some comfort because it's not a racing car and I use it nearly everyday.
But when I drive fastly I would like the car is more accurate in the corner.
It's also for the look because I find it to high but I don't want to drop it too much .
I think 40mm is enough :?: after that it 's difficul too drive the car on belgian road with all the slowdown they put :roll:
Adjustable is better but it's also more expensive and I don't want to spend too much money.
What do you think about the mark " KW " :?:

Pretty much the same requirments as me then.

If you are happy with a fixed drop of 40mm, I would obviously suggest a matched shock and spring set.

KW are very good quality. Obviously not cheap, but in my opinion, you do get what you pay for.

I would spend the most amount you can on the dampers, afterall these detemine the control of the car and how the spring reacts.

Are you aware KW do a matched springs and shock set (-40mm) for the 6n2 gti? Part number is 20080063, RRP is 459 Euro's. Weitec also do a simlar kit (manufactured by KW), which is cheaper. I assume the components used are of slightly less quality.

No Problem, there are many more options from other manufacturers too.

By the way, I have heard that KW will be releasing/promoting their new range of "Street Comfort" coilovers at the show. If you happen to find out any further info or pricing regarding these, please report back?

KW UK have said no further details will be released about the product until after the show :( .
