Tanabe GF210--> I own these, about 1.3" all around (based on my actual inspection).

H & R Springs ---> about 1.5" all around I believe, super low, great springs.

Eibach Sportlines----> Just came out, but very low drop (heard they sag? ).


Good luck. There are other (cheaper) brands out there that might drop lower *ahem* sprint *ahem*, but they don't perform as well as those listed above.

I have the Tanabes NF210, 1.2 all around. I believe the GF210 are 1.0 front and 1.2 rear as per the wesite. I have very pleased with the ride quality, better than stock. I'll have a better write up an a later date. In a way I kinda wished I waited for the sportlines (I didn't know about them at time of perchase) for a little lower stance, but I'm still very happy with the Tanabes.

I heard the Eibachs sag a tad bit, but for what it's worth the Pro Kit is 1.0 all around and Sportline is 1.2 all around.

Hope this helps

I had the sportlines on my GTI for over 40K, best springs I ever owned but harsh ride, never experienced sagging. The manufacturing process involves a "cold coiling" process and apparently that prevents them from sagging over time. I heard of sagging with H&R coilover springs but never with Eibach springs.

Again, they are not made for cruising, they're track springs. If you want a drop and a little bit stiffer ride, then go for Eibach Prokit.

I've had the sportlines on for two weeks now and the front has dropped barely over an inch (maybe 1.2) and 1.25" in the rear. I hope they drop a little lower in both front and rear. Ride is excellent, smoother than stock but a little bouncier. Hope this helps.
