I've been researching but no results on the DDCs for MK7. Though I have read that in Singapore people are putting in the variant 3 of their street performance coilovers and it's been doing them quite well.Quote:

This is the one I'm looking into.
And then there's the other one which sounds abit too hardcore for me, as it is 500 euro more dearer and is controlled by a retrofit button or an app that goes into your phone (Mind you that an additional W-LAN module is needed for this - More extra cost and more failure points)
So.. all in all I think the normal DDC ones attract me more than the ECU DDC as I want to lower my height maybe an extra 5mm? :rolleyes:
Be interesting to see how the costs come up on the first option these days - I reckon it was a $4k+ investment only a couple of years ago.Quote:

For a 5mm drop I'd be wondering whether there is a compliant enough set of springs that will do the job?
I had VWR springs on my Mk6 and that gave around a 20mm drop - great height for looks, and overall it wasn't so bad ride wise, but having now experienced the Mk7 in comfort and normal I'd be wary about touching it this time around. I'll just have to live with some wheel gap. :)

Hey guys, has anybody fitted mud flaps to there new Gti, I have seen pics, but the dealer is telling me they are not available to the third quarter,
what do you true or dealer bull **** ?
This time an honest response. When I was picking up my car we were discussing various things and the towbar issue came up - he then mentioned the same issue in trying to get mudflaps sorted from VWA (I'm not looking at any of these items, it was just a general conversation).Quote:

A little thing, sure, but this is my feeling.
