Changing springs

Post by paavokoponen »

Hey!
I was wondering how much difference does it make if I only change springs instead of changing the whole chassis to make my Scirocco lower? I mean, I don't want it to be super low so I guess only changing springs might be okay and I think it would be cheaper... Any pictures or ideas what should I do?

Springs such as Eibach pro will work just fine with your stock shocks and you will still retain your adjustable chassis control. The ride will be firmer but not uncomfortable.

Did you end up changing the springs? If so which ones did you go for?

Not yet, I was just looking for Eibach springs and probably will order those. We will see how it turns out :shrug: :yes:
