Hi all.
I'm new to the forum and I was just wondering if anyone had some advice/info on where I could find some well priced lowered springs for a 94 VR6?
Cheers

I recommend you make a request like this in the "Wanted" section. You can buy new Eibach springs for around 500 rrp, theres bound to be some decent second hand ones around this forum for less than 200, which were probably a year or two old anyway...
Oh and welcome to the forum! We're all quite mad about VW's here so feel free to ask any more questions!

Interesting... whats the go with the stock shocks with lowered springs? Worth even attempting or should both be done at once?Originally Posted by KI11Z

I hear conflicting stories about this...
From what I gather, you can just keep the old shocks until they die..

Thats what I was told as well, my mechanic said my shocks are good, and that VW ones are quite decent. He said it wouldn't be worth it otherwise...

my shocks are 170,000km old, and very dead. I don't know if the lowered springs had anything to do with it. It was lowered when i got it.

Ive got some lowering springs for sale. I think they are Weitec. They came with a used set of Koni Yellows I bought, but I didn't need them as I already had Eibach springs. I bought them off a forum member who said they were 6months old and had done around 5k km. PM me if interested.

You should change ur shocks as well bcoz at this stage they are most likely 100,000kms+ and they will need to be taken out anyway to swap the springs over. Mine were leaking and offering little resistance when i did mine. I can tell you first hand that eibachs + stock shocks do not go well, bombsquad can also tell u this.

Lol I find that very hard to believe! I was told that my shocks were in excellent working condition, and the car does ride and handle very well. I find it incrediably hard to believe that standard shocks work poorly with Eibach springs, cos they just don't in my case.
How many k's had your friends car done, do you know?
