now you're talking dopey! be really interested to see that. Just checked the Eibach aussie site and they've got 40% off at the moment. Might have to give them a call tomorrow.

I was looking at mine the other day and imaging how much better it would look about 40mm lower - especially at the back. It just sits too high at the rear, partly because of the upswept design from the rear wheel back (can't understand how they could do that, stand back from it and think "yeh that looks great!")

The quote I got back from Eibach was this:

Ryan,

For your vehicle we have the Eibach Pro Kit in stock, improves the suspension performance and lowers the vehicle by approximately 30 mm front and rear.

Price $425.00 + GST.

Thanks dopey, saved me a call. I'm very tempted. Are you grabbing a set?

Thinking about it but won't fit them yet. Something isn't quite right with the car and I am waiting to see if it gets any worse. Don't want to start modding the car before I'm sure it's all 100% ok.

Install would be another $350-400 I reckon

Got your order in yet?

No order in yet, still waiting to have a drive in the Scirocco first just to make sure I really don't want one.

I'm leaning towards Hertz Mille 3-way's, Audison LRx4.1k, Dynamat Extreme, and maybe an Audison Bit Ten.... but I reckon my Wife would smash me for it if she noticed. Subwoofer is definitely too obvious, and I don't think the under seat Pioneer would keep up with the front stage....

Maybe if I start stashing a little cash here and there she won't notice! haha!

I really want to see how the car sits with Eibach Pro Kit springs too..

I've been trying to find out if lowering springs are bad for the adaptive chassis control but haven't found anything as yet

Good morning gents.
I've just picked up a B7 TDI Highline Wagon. Driving out of the showroom and onto the M4 for the first time I noticed some road noise from the stock tyres not present on the demo (or at least as I recall it). I think the stock tyres are 17 " Continentals. Can anyone suggest quieter tyres? I'm after the quietest and most comfortable in cabin experience I can find. I have taken on board Clip's suggestions re stereo and sound proofing the doors with dynamat.

Many thanks,
Best Wishes

Mine has the conti's too. Michelin Primacy LC's are supposed to be quiet, but haven't tested them. Just a suggestion with the wagon, someone in the Tig forum dynamatted the rear door and inside the rear side panels and got great results.
