Official Spring / Cup-Kit Picture Thread

[absoluteczech]

Which is based on weight correct?

yes, but not sure if the suspension makes any difference since the gti and golf use different shocks

Koni STR.T shocks and struts are the same part number for both, so maybe going to aftermarket strut changes a couple things. O well just thought I'd throw that out there if any golf owners had experience with gti springs...

anyway, I'll get my golf on here when I get my cupkit all together. I would love to see some more SS or race springs with staggerd wheels on springs.

Followed this thread for the past 9mts, really helped me decide. So time for me to give back.

thanks Vortex!!!

Still needs to settle....Super Sports with 19" Hartmanns.... Just under 25" FTG

No offense but these seem like DG springs with a cooler name. Maybe I just haven't read enough about them. Otherwise

[hilld]

No offense taken, I can't compare to the DG springs as I don't have a set. Several people have said that these look a little lower in the rear than the DG springs, but according to VWR, the spring rates are different than DG. It doesn't really matter as these are the springs I have and I am happy with them. I am also sure that I would probably be happy with DG springs as well.

[jr05gti]

Yeah as long as you're happy that's all that matters. Like I said I probably just haven't read enough about them.

Do you mean h&r Super Sports? If so, how do you like the ride with the KONI Orange STR.T shocks? I was leaning toward yellow shocks but have been hearing more and more about the STR.t that they ride very nice and still carry lifetime warranty.

I was wondering how they ride compared to stock shocks, when paired with the super sport springs.

looks great, thanks!

[TDI_JERK]

Wel its not bad i got the look i wanted rides great i was lookin' into the bilsteins on the ECS website but they were'nt in stock at the time .Over all i'm happy with the STR.T and the H&R supersports

thanks for info!....I have spoke to a couple others now with SUperSports and Koni Strt shock/combo and they both say they ride awesome. Apparently not quite as stiff as the koni yellows. I think for the typical driver they are perfect. I guess thats why they call them "street"

Just did the cupkit on my golf today ...

Eibach sportlines (gti part number) and koni STR.T No regrets with my decision, I'll get some pics tomorrow after work and a little wash.

Edit: big thanks to TheRedMouse for saving the weekend

can you clarify which setup you went with? cupkit or sportlines/STR.T

thanks!

[BrokenTT180]

*I want to thank all the people who posted here. I used this thread to make my decision and went with:

H&R Sport Springs over stock shocks. 18" VW Omanyt wheels from my MKV R32. Same offset as stock.



Same Springs (H&R Sport) with stock wheels

ummmm... Yes? i didn't know sportlines/str.t didn't mean cupkit


BrokenTT; i love the omanyts. im considering those for my golf as well

So after putting about 1,000 miles on my new suspension, needless to say, it was exactly what i wanted. The car is a bit stiffer than stock, and hardly bouncey, which im glad i purchased the Konis for becasue putting the GTI sportlines (different part number than the golf's) on the golf shocks probably would have been uncomfortable for my 80+ mile commute to work. I have about a 2 finger gap with the 15" wheels in, and when i get some bigger wheels, i think they will fill in prefectly. on with some more pics.

Hi,

I'm just trying to figure out if I'm going to rub or not. I'm about to install an H&R Touring Cup Kit and I'm running 18x8 et40 wheels with 225/40 tires. Just trying to figure out if i'm gonna need a fender roll or not and if anyone else is running a similar setup.

[absoluteczech]

i had 18x8 et44 on h&r sports and didnt rub. but that 4mm might rub up front when turning if you hit a dip

Hmm.. Ok. So the screw mod is a definite and i guess rolling the fenders probably wouldn't be a bad idea either. Thanks for the insight!!!

I trimmed my liners too.

[bone324]

Here's mine with H&R SS springs, Tokico shocks, Miro wheels 18x8.5 ET35 and 215/40 tires.

[volksade]

All of these pictures of the H&R super sport springs are making my decision between coil overs and springs a hard one.

For those of you with the super sports: is there more gap in the front than in the rear?
