Where is the cheapest place that I can get a set of either H&R or Eibach lowered springs for my GT TDi? Cheapest I've seen is about $250 for some Eibach's on ebay + delivery.

try orange tuning in the uk. I got mine (polo gti) delivered for $300 odd, but the exchange wasn't anywhere near it is nowadays. That's for new H&R's.Track Car: 06 Polo GTI Red Devil mkII

Ive always found its the freight fee on springs that makes it rather uneconomical to buy from the US/ UK.. Ive had H&R springs priced up from the US previously and the freight was more then what the springs were worth.MKV GTIComment

Freight ex UK/Europe is expensive and makes it uneconomical.
www.tirerack.com can supply ex USA.
even with freight, it is slightly cheaper from them.
If youre keen to save a few $, send them an email and ask for a quote
However, you lose the aussie warranty (which may not be a worry for springs only).
Also some local suppliers will give you discounted installation if you buy from them, so this might be worthwhile pursuing/negotiating with locals for2007 Audi RS4 with: APR ECU Upgrade; JHM Quick Shifter; Milltek Catback and Downpipes; KW V3 Coilovers; Argon Creative Carbon Fibre SplittersComment

I agree with gareth its easier just go direct to a H&R or eibach distributor in australia.. check http://www.eibach.com.au/eibach_partners.html for eibach outlets
*edit, just noticed there is no disti in SA, shipping from melb could be an option?MKV GTIComment

Ok well I started looking for some H&R springs but they dont seem to have any listed for a TDI model? They seem to have one universal springs that caters for all the Golf V models? Thats seems a bit strange doesn't it, surely the springs rates on a golf with a heavy diesel motor would be different from one fitted with a 1.6L ?
Can anyone advise a model H&R spring that caters for my specific model?2007 Black Magic VW Golf GT TDi, Latte Leather, Sunroof, Bluefin Superchip, 18" Detroits, APR lower torque arm insert, APR Carbon Fibre Cold Air Intake system, GTi sideskirts & front lip, R32 Rear Bar, GTi Steering wheel, RNS-510,Infinity BassLink Subwoofer,stubby antenna, R8 Oil Cap, Golf R front calipers, slotted front rotors, ceramic brake pads, LITEC LED tail-lights, Dension Gateway Five, Rear Emblem Reverse Camera, H&R Ultralow coil-overs, Badge-less front grilleComment

Unfortunatelly these american sites dont seem to know what a TDI is, they only cater for the standard Rabbit and the GTi, you tell them you have a GT TDI and they are like" What's that? Just get the GTi springs they are all the same". Which is bull of course - Euro sites seem to have a seperate parts number for all the different model Golfs that exist. I also doubt that the springs from a Passat would fit a golf.Originally posted by OilBurna View Postecs tuning have volkswagen sport springs on sale at a discount to suit passat b6 which has same suspension as mkv
