Why are they called differently?

Anyway, would my "standard" shocks/damper handle that maaassive drop?! lol

yes. i know mk4s have standard shocks lowered 60mm springs.

That is the Eibach 50mm drop.

50mm from standard at front 30mm at back.

The 30mm drop is 30mm at front 15mm at back I think.

So what is that pic of jus to double-check. They're some Eibach -30 or -50mm springs?

And yeah my shocks are the standard 1.4 (non-sport) one.

(Jus a question - what are "dampers" then?)

Time to shop around now I guess.

I know Awesome-GTI do them. Any other sites?

And it's the Eibach -50mm ones for MY car yeah?

There's the Pro-Kit spring or the Sportine springs - which one should I get?

and it's got 3 different variations:

30mm/30mm
45mm-50mmF
30mm-35mmR

What what what?

Yes now you're talkin'.

Thanks that is what I wanted to know. Another thing, didn't "somebody" mentioned that VW won't approve if the drop is below 30mm?
