If you have lowered springs where did you get them from? how much did you pay? what brand?

have lowered springs on our nbc. 35mm from memory, did them back in 04 so long time ago. think they were Kings brand, about $600 fitted.
bought them from a local suspension and brake specialist.

So its OK to fit lowering springs and keep the standard shocks?

Yes. From stock (white or blue marked springs) to 40 cm lower springs -> no problem. The shocks can still be used.

Some additional information can be found at my website. Unfortunately available in english through the google-translator only:

Where to find the color: Like on this one, the pink spot -> standard VW marking.

Are these springs suitable for T5 also?

Wholesale Suspension at Penrith offers King Springs fitted for $595.

I had Eibachs fitted, cost of the springs only $790. Done at Killara Garage.

Eibachs and Bilsteins supplied and fitted $3100.

Also had the blackout around the front door / sliding door done $50 on the spot at the local Sign A Rama at Chatswood $50. Looks great - Good tip camden gti!

AFAIK not. The T5 got other springs with different part numbers.

Have been shopping around for prices on Eibachs in Melb'. Quoted $1000.00 supplied/fitted.
Have looked at purchasing direct from Eibach Sydney, but I'm having trouble finding the part no.

I suspect if supply them to be fitted and there are problems now or later, I can hear the suspension guys saying" Mate you supplied the stuff ' we only fitted them"
