I'm looking for pictures of JSWs running the H&R Race Spring sets.

Race Spring Set: http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Jetta_VI-Sportwagen-TDI/Suspension/Springs/ES7428/

Sorry if this is a common topic as Ive been searching but Im having a issue with Google and this forum's search combining Sportwagen with sport kit and all the results are comming back with the H&R sport kit...

Only thing I could find was a cached Google result that didn't even have the pictures of the Race Springs.

Any input on the Race Springs vs the Sport Springs would be great.

Sport springs-hard ride. Race springs-bone jarring. Your wife will hate you and you will scrape bottom a lot. Are you after looks or handling?

Kidding aside, the combination of a bit larger rear anti-sway bar and top quality tires will get you better handlling without harshness and other problems created by lowering your JSW.

Thanks for the input guys.

I'm going more for looks than handling as this is strickly a commuter car. I wish the sport springs where 1/2'' lower as I don't mind a slightly bumpier ride (My old DD was a e46 BMW with full coilovers and other suspension upgrades) but I don't want to rattle my teeth out during my hour long commute.

The ride is not bad but every road imperfection is more pronounced with H&R as opposed to stock springs.

I plan to upgrade shocks and struts next year.
