My plan is to get the Eibach Pro-Kit with Bilstein B8 shocks/struts for my 2017 Golf Sportwagen. It's a decent amount of lowering 1.4" front and 1.2" rear. A lot of great reviews here and elsewhere on this combination.
I went with Bilstien shocks and dobinson springs. I have a family of four and a 2.5/1.5 lift with 285/70/17 with 17x9 rims. It’s our daily family vehicle.
I threw a used set on my convertible with the expectation of replacing them with a new set at some point but they ride so damn well I never ended up replacing them.
I went with the bilstien for the level on my 02 and it works really well.
Bro those b4 bilsteins are hella good.
Bilstein B4s are OEM non-sport. Well priced as well.
I'm using bilstein b4's and when I put it all back together I ended up with over a fist of tire to fender gap and am trying to figure out how to fix this. Previous ride height was like 2 or 3 fingers between the tire and arch.
I upgraded to Bilstein 5100 front and rear, keeping the front Toyota springs and replacing the rear springs with Old Man Emu 2895.
When towing my camper now, my 4Runner sits level and handles much more confidently.
I installed them today as well as the black forest industry solid rubber bushings for the front control arm. I definitely enjoy the ride way better than the shi*t coilovers I had. Very smooth bounce back when hitting shallow parts of the road. Feels slightly floaty which I kinda enjoy. It hooks up to the road when hitting bumps and uneven pavement. B8s are definitely a go to mod if you want to lower your GTI and improve handling
billsteins are maybe a quarter or half inch above stock height but miles ahead in comfort
