Default Koni FSDs and Eibachs on a 1.8T

Hi Awesome Sarah,
Now I know that that this combo is supposed to be the dogs, but do you know if it will actually lower my 1.8T hatchback? I've read that the FSDs actually increase ride height on the vRS but I want mine lowered. Surely the Eibach springs would lower it by the stated 30mm or do the FSDs keep it at normal level? Any help appreciated

Hello my dear
Yes we have had so much good reports on these , great piece of kit
But as you said , it can raise it a bit
With the lowering springs , you will still get some lowering
Say approx 15mm ish
So still will lower , but if you have something set in your mind about how much you want it lowered by , maybe going on to coilovers may be the way forward , but then it will harshen the ride
So if you want a smooth ride , FSD`s may be the way forward , but then tou have to have the lowering specified on the springs
Sorry
Sarah

Thanks Sarah, so if the Eibach spring states a lowering of 30mm the FSDs will only allow a drop of 15mm?
