I'm pretty curious about the new suspension myself! It's a bit of a stab in the dark how high/low it will sit without knowing if the current springs have sagged or not.  But I'm going for a period OEM+ kinda look anyway, so I'm not after an extreme change. 25 to 30mm would be ideal.

The weights is an interesting issue. Most spring suppliers just offer one spring choice for a given ride height so the choice is easy. H&R are really selling themselves short by not actually explaining how and why you'd choose either of their options. IMO it should put them ahead of other brands for a nice street-sport setup when choosing.

The end is nigh, but the end of what is the question?

Love the Pirelli Ps - I am having my campaign edition ones sent over from the UK at the moment to go on my tin top - they are by far the coolest wheels  :)

15 inch P's are very cool as well, and very rare.

Campaign P Slots are not too easy to come by either. They'll look just right on your GTI Toby.  :D

I really want some 15s, but I'm not sure I'm prepared to pay what they seem to sell for these days, might have to settle for G60s instead.

My new H&R kit is now somewhere between Auckland airport and my house....
