I am looking to lower my MK6 GTI around 30 mm. (Note I am European spec car so perhaps the factory height is slightly lower than US) The roads where I live are not so good. There are a lot of holes and dips on the roads which is why I don't want to go too low or make the car rough and unbearable. I want it to be a bit firmer for better handling but I will only be using the car on the road and not on the track. I have done a bit of research and I am trying to decide between a few different setups.
1. Bilstein B14 PSS Coilovers
2. Koni Coilovers
3. Koni Sport Shocks + Eibach Sportline springs (European ones which are linear basicly the same as VWR springs)
4. Bilstein B12 Sportline kit (Bilstein B8 + Eibach Sportline springs)
From what I hear the Koni are the smoothest of the setups however I have only heard good things bout the Bilstein. I am just not sure if the ride will be too rough on Bilstein perhaps someone can comment on how they would compare the other kits I have selected. The B14 coilovers are probably tempting me the most at the moment if they are comfortable. I would like to hear any feedback people have on these setups.
