Scirocco r mods

[Reginald]

Wow.... a lot of discussion going on about springs!

RoccoR, I've got a set of VWR springs that will be getting fitted to my rocco over the next couple of weeks so I can pass on my thoughts afterwards if you like? There's some horrible roads around Bendigo so I'll definitely know if the rides that little bit nicer haha

I have 30-35mm H&R springs (Sourced: Orange Tuning in Germany) installed and don't really feel a whole lot of difference comfort wise to the stock setup tbh. Pretty decent for a driver's oriented car.

I use the 'Sport' ACC mode the same amount as I did with the stock setup which is probably 95% of the time. Looks a lot better visually too.

Definite Pros > Cons.. until I can justify the KW DCC system.

Thanks to all for the feedback!! Much appreciated. This will definitely assist me in making a decision.
1 Question i do have is how are u guys coping with clearance. She_dub said that she doesn't have too Many issues and simply takes driveways more on an angle than before. Any thoughts from the rest of u with springs?

I can't even get mine across some of the driveways I need to in standard form!

I will be be doing the springs though.

I must admit I have scraped a couple of times on very steep driveways / ramps but now I am a lot more careful...
You will also need to be careful when parking... especially in Melbourne with the taller gutters lol.
I also find the concrete wheel strips in parking spots can be an issue... but reversing in fixes all of that

Hmmm a bit of a sneak peak at what will be coming next for mine...



6 pot Brembo 18Z Caliper from Q7 with 350 x 32mm slotted rotor. Still to source the braided lines and pads are most likely going to be Hawk.



Final cost fitted and bled should be under $1500

[RoccoR]

WHAT!!!! under $1500 installed???
Where did u get this price? I paid $3k for mine (I'm running 355mm rotors cross drilled and slotted) but still! That's an incredible price.

$500 for the Calipers (2nd hand), $240 for the rotors (single piece), $100 all up for paint and decals. The rest will be for pads, braided lines, fitting and bleeding plus any misc bits I need.... These will have the Factory wear indicators as well.

The Calipers are OEM VAG made by Brembo and are fitted to Touareg, Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne.

PS: Be very careful with your discs... Cross drilled discs are way more susceptible to cracking... and do absolutely nothing for cooling.

Yeah I heard about that also. But I'm not planning to put that much heat into them. So far so good and I've had them for over 2 years.
