Hey there!

Was just browsing around for some pictures of cars lowered with Eibach springs and came across yours. I am also looking to lower mine by using Eibach springs, however there are different ones available, some lowering by 25-30/25, some for 35-40/30 and a couple more. I was hoping you could maybe post a link to the ones that you got or tell me the specifications, since I really love how your Scirocco sits. Not too low, not too high, just prefect for what i was searching.

All around nice looking car btw.


Cheers.
Olivier

Thank you! I have an Eibach Pro-kit: front 25-30 mm and rear 20 mm. Great look and comfortable ride.

Wow that was a fast reply. I will look around ebay then and probably get these aswell, thanks alot!

Another question that just came up for me, did you only have the springs replaced or did you change anything else like strut bearings? Been reading about lowering on some forums and they recommended doing that since the parts have to be removed anyway to fit the springs.

Eibach is a great choice for lowering. Not too low and still comfortable.

All wheels on the pictures are 19". BBS CH is my winterset and I have Talladega's and Savannah's for summer.

The Savannah is my '16 summer set. No tires mounted on them yet, they are brand new and now considering Michelin Super Sport tires for them.

Thanks bro for the quick response. I am going to buy the Eibach's. Just needed to be sure as the guy selling Eibach here has a pic with 18's and looks good.

Love the Savannahs on the Scirocco. Fitment is perfect for this car with 235/35R19 tyres.
