I was gonna get some bilstein pss-9 coilovers from ecs, but after the dollar dropped to the US, the group buy fell through, my gearbox started showing signs of an impending rebuild, and a few other things..... i've decided to be a bit more responsible with my hard earned cash!

Could people reccomend some setups for my gti?
It's a bit harder shopping for shock and spring combos... as opposed to coilovers

I don't want to track the car, but i would ideally like it around 30mm lower all round with a firm but not uncomfortable ride.
I say 30mm because i don't plan on upgrading my front sway bar for rubbing issues (only plan to add a rear s.b)
But also, i've measured the current clearance of my sump with stock gti suspension and it is approx 130mm off the ground, and i want to keep it as close to legal as possible (i.e not below 100mm height)

I also do not want the total to be over $1000 as I want to avoid paying gst and import duty.

Here is one option i've looked at:
Home Page > ES#6362 Touring Cup Kit - 31046T-4 H&R's Touring Cup Kits
Average lowering of 1.5"F 1.4"R
Though cost is USD$620.10 +$234.68 shipping which is very close to AUD$1000...

Also, 1.5" is 38mm, so i'm thinking it might take my car a touch below legal
Do you think i would run into rub issues with the front axle?


And can anyone suggest other sites to buy some kits from? I wonder if due to the dollar at the moment, it would be cheaper to buy things from the UK or europe...

Thanks
