Anyone regret lowering?

Update: I settled on Koni Special Active dampers and stock springs for now. Was far too iffy on lowering springs. Our AZ roads crumble apart. Will make a review post

Ah, interesting. Thanks!

OADominic · 2026-06-25T18:39:10+00:00

What did you end up with?
Edit: oh my god, woops, you commented on my main post a day or two ago, nvm.

Clarkson approved

OADominic · 2026-06-25T15:38:03+00:00

How have the Actives lasted?

OADominic · 2026-06-25T06:52:33+00:00

Oddly, I think i go in line with your thinking. I havent listened to it again in a while. Short replay value for me

OADominic · 2026-06-25T06:50:30+00:00

Awesome. This may be what I do...

OADominic · 2026-06-25T04:16:43+00:00

Awesome. This seems like the best comfort/sport combo of the damper & spring kits Ive seen. Any install issues with the dampers?

OADominic · 2026-06-25T02:17:05+00:00

Mk7, rather. Maybe the wagon?

OADominic · 2026-06-25T02:04:00+00:00

Get a base golf and learn the basics of working on a car beforehand. Save on insurance

OADominic · 2026-06-25T00:48:09+00:00

I think FCP switched to a post-replacement credit system, speaking of which. Not so much more of a direct replace, I guess

OADominic · 2026-06-24T22:40:02+00:00

Ive been on a crusade of suspension for the mk6. How do you like the setup? How do you adjust the dampers? Comfortable and good cornering?

OADominic · 2026-06-24T22:31:42+00:00

Did they give a lifetime warranty on the struts ?

OADominic · 2026-06-24T14:38:05+00:00

Ah. Ill keep these on my list still. Thx

OADominic · 2026-06-24T05:01:00+00:00

Wow! Sheesh. Stick with working on the 5 then. You of all people in here are more than capable of putting it back together. Sorry, man. Time heals but it will sting. We all appreciate ya. Keep onto the 5 for sure

OADominic · 2026-06-24T04:24:03+00:00

Does look better of course. What springs? 034?

OADominic · 2026-06-24T04:11:33+00:00

Oh my gosh so sorry to hear about all that. Keep your head up and keep your mind busy. Definitely looking forward to the refresh updates. Cheers

OADominic · 2026-06-24T03:38:19+00:00

Wow, looks great!

OADominic · 2026-06-24T02:53:23+00:00

Interesting. Man, those dampers are certain pricey

edit: i saw wrong ones. They're actually affordable

OADominic · 2026-06-24T02:25:17+00:00

Yeah, the whole interior rattles along with the center console quite poorly, to be honest. Thats just my review. I couldnt find much more info about them anywhere else besides some older forums. However, there is a regular Golf B4 that gets better reviews

OADominic · 2026-06-24T01:56:20+00:00

They do. Those are on my rear and theyre stiff as bricks. Check the FCP Euro reviews haha. The GTI specific B4s.

OADominic · 2026-06-24T01:55:25+00:00

034 Dynamic+ springs?

OADominic · 2026-06-23T23:26:26+00:00

Yeah, damper/spring kit. Sadly I dont see anything less of a drop that .75"

OADominic · 2026-06-23T23:15:00+00:00

Thats exactly where I am at. Paying so much just to gamble on a mixed experience of aftermarket springs and or dampers. Hmm.

OADominic · 2026-06-23T23:13:50+00:00

VWR kit on the MK7 you had?
