What did you do to your Mk5 today?

[adzy]

Once u drop it... she will look very nice! Silver V710's are the perfect contrast to the blue

Thanks Adzy How is the ride on the H&R's? Not too harsh, yes? Weren't you getting a set of the VMR 710's as well?

The h and r's are firmer but not too firm, minor bumps are still ironed out enough yet she sits nice and flat when going for it I love em! Changed my mind on the v710's and went with my old plan ofgetting some 17" lightweights, I have some enkei rpf1's currently in transit.. cant wait for the difference they will offer

Thanks for the feedback Looks like H&R is the way to go Remember to post up pics when you get your Enkei RPF1's That will save you a few kgs over the Denvers and add a few more killer wasps

I might add that they arent coils bro they are the H&R Comfort Cup kit which is springs and shocks, still very firm though. The wheels came today but no tyre shops were open of course so maybe tomorrow. Not sure exactly what the denvers weigh, think its 12 kegs? but the RPF1's weigh 6.9 kegs!!!

Thanks Mate, I'm not after coilovers, just interested in the srprings. Does the H&R match well with the OEM shocks? Or is better to get shocks as well? Yeah, Denvers are approx 12kgs! That will be a whopping 20kg weight advantage when you put on the new shoes!

[adzy]

Its never ideal to do just springs, even if dropping only 25 - 30mm, the valving in shock absorbers is designed to work with the rates and height of the stock springs. Most standard shock absorbers are barely good enough for standard springs due to keeping costs down. If you do the ride will be crashy, harsh and a bit bouncy and the shockers just wear out twice as fast. I done it on a few cars when I was younger and never again.
Save for some shocks and springs which were designed to be run together and you will have a tight well dampened ride

Eg..

Cup-Kit Sport Suspension Kit (Front axle <880kg) - JBS

Thanks for the tip mate Guess I'd better save some pennies and do it the proper way...

Washing mine now. There is nothing better than a clean car.
