my gti is stock on fresh refurbished 15 inch rx2.i was looking on ebay H&R lowering springs 35 mm .any got a pic of a gti on 15s with this drop i have no idea how low it is.and are these springs good to go with the standard shoks i have on the car.

i dont want it too low i need practicality eg speed bumps passengers etc..
if these are no good please advise .

ps alex with the red gti like mine has the perfect ride height but hes on 16s i think

also seen eibach 50/35 but have no idea how it will look with no pics.

iim not sure if 60/40 is too low as i want a subtle drop like alexperkins gti

Mine is a 35/35 drop as i wanted subtleness

On my old car, I had H+R 35mm springs on 15s and it looked great
