    Hi guys jsut wanted your thoughts on this...

    I have a mk5 sdi and just put alloys on it so now want to make the inevitbale drop and am thinking of doing the following..

    Getting hold of some oem gti or gt tdi sport springs and a set of arb's to tighten it up and give me a subtle but noticable drop as I cant go too low as need to be able to get in and out of fileds and forestry commision dirt car parks for when im away climbing or moutain biking. Any help would be much apreciated. Also how much would I be looking at for a s/hand set of gti or gt tdi sport springs does anyone have any they want to sell if this is a wise option and what arbs would be best or do I leave them as is as it is by no means a rocket ship so might get away with out lol

    Many Thanks for any help

    GTi springs won't work on your car. Diesel engines are heavier than petrol, so springs and dampers need to be rated arccordingly.
