Guys, does $890 installed sound about right to drop it 30mm on H&R springs?

I wouldn't count on it dropping by 30mm. That is a rough estimate based on average. I got some of the extreme lowering H&R springs which are said to drop 50mm and with those mine only dropped 30-31mm in the front and about 12mm in the rear. Still looks good but no way near the 50mm they were supposed to be. Mine before lowering didn't look anywhere near as tall as yours so if I were you I'd go for the lowest you can get. You need it.
Eibach ( I think thats how you spell it ) also make a 50mm drop series, if you hunt around on the net you can some for under $400 delivered to your door and it will probably cost about $200 - $250 to install by a pro.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

We dropped our jetta on 30mm h&r's and it went down about 35mm.
I love the stance of it now, also handles so much better.
I'm on my iPhone so I don't know how to put a link but search "mini build thread" and you should find it.
IMO I would not use 50mm springs as the ride turns to sh...... With just springs. I know from experience with my last bora.
If you do go with 50mm springs you will have to get matching shocks and then new swaybars ect.
If you want to go lower than 30mm you may as well go coilovers.Last edited by Silver dub; 01-07-2010, 07:15 AM.White Scirocco R
