    In determining which suspension package to go with for my new MKV, I've had headache after headache attempting to find pictures of cars with each setup.

    Because manufacturer's specs are often skewed regarding ride height, it makes it even more difficult to discern about how low my car will sit with any given suspension package.

    Thus, ONLY POST PICTURES OF CARS THAT ARE LOWERED WITH SPRING/SHOCK COMBOS OTHER THAN STOCK . Please, don't poste your stock car. PLease, don't ask any questions to hijack this. I want a clean reference for those of us looking to upgrade. Some pictures I would like to see:


    1. H & R Cup Kit on Jetta & GTI

    2. H & R Coilovers on Jetta & GTI

    3. Bilstein Coilovers on Jetta & GTI

    4. Patec COilovers on Jetta & GTI

    5) Autotech Cup Kit on Jetta & GTI

    6) H&R Race Springs w/Koni shocks on Jetta & GTI

    7) H&R Sport Springs w/Koni shocks on Jetta & GTI

    8) H&R Race Springs w/BIlstein shocks on Jetta & GTI

    9) H&R Sport Springs w/Bilstein shocks on Jetta & GTI

    10) Koni cup kit on Jetta & GTI

    Thanks everyone! Again, please avoid asking questions in this thread. Just pictures.

    H&R Sport springs on stock shocks. A little deceiving because of the black tires and the shadows so it might look a little higher than it is. Perfect for me though, I'm not into the slammed look.

    Nice looking car. Looks just like mine...LOL. Did you keep the stock shocks and struts or did you go with aftermarket ones.
