Tigger73's 162TSI Sportline

Sunday afternoon.

...but this is the first car part for this car

"this".

And yes, I acknowledge car parts are cheaper than whole cars.

Just pulled the pin and ordered some Eibach lowering springs from here: Eibach Pro-Kit E10-85-043-05-22 for VOLKSWAGEN Tiguan Ad1 - TUNERSHOP Tuning Onlineshop



Now just to wait until the box arrives...

I was looking at these springs on Sparesbox.com.au and noticed they are having a 20% off sale at the moment. They are priced at $449 before the discount and shipping for
those that might want to purchase locally. I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on yellow stuff front pads and DBA T3 rotors. Would the braking be compromised if I just upgraded the fronts and not rears?

I didn't know Sparesbox had the springs for the Gen2 Tig? I'd just be checking the specs on the springs they offer as I think 1 is for the Gen 1 Tig and the other is for the Kodiaq / Allspace.

Jump onto the Eibach site for compatibility (rather than relying on Sparesbox compatibility).

Though having said that they probably would work but you may end up with either more or less drop than advertised...

Although Sparesbox compatibility ticked this one as being compatible for GEN 2, I think you are right the part no. relates to GEN 1. Please disregard my earlier post. Note, Sparesbox “guarantees” fitment so not sure why they are pointing to that product.

I never trust online shops compatibility tables - best to check with the manufacturer site.

Having said that they probably will work. A lot of the US guys stick Golf R springs in their Tigs and seems to work OK .

The other reason I’m looking to lower the Tig is that our meter box is in the carport at exactly the wrong height:



30mm should just give enough clearance that I don’t have to worry about taking out the mirror each time I back out the car.

And at this time tigger became world famous for the perfect excuse on why to lower cars.

Unfortunately the damage has already happened



Justification right there...
