Genuine VW lowered kit is only barely lower than standard (~15mm or so). You would hardly notice the difference from standard...
Eibach kit is not genuine VW kit, but it's VW approved kit to use. Quite few people have it fitted and happy with it.

Did you have to trim the rear bump stops? Looks like it in your picks. What’s the clearance like when on the ground? Rear doesn’t bottom out?
Yes i trimmed the bottom off bump stops. Clearance is fine on the back, had nearly half a tonne of scrap metal in the back and all ok.
Not much clearance on front over speedbumps but coilovers are wound right down

Craigroco,

What’s your setup like with the HR springs and axle flip? This is probably the setup I’m gona get as I’m not really up for shelling out for the coil overs and rear dampners. How does the rear handle when carrying loads? How low is the front end? Any issues with speed bumps etc?
