====================
My experience with the Eibachs are with the MK1 Scirocco.

In my opinion, they lowered the car too much. The control arms actually
were higher at the ball joint than at the center "hinge".

The springs were also VERY harsh. If you have glassy smooth roads -
they'd be alright. But in the DC/Baltimore area - forget going
downtown.

An alternative is lowering caps (at least for the front) - Bonrath
makes them and they are available in the US.
