Scirocco r mods

[Bain]

Bain,

Which site did you order them from??

Once I get them in, ill post the site details. I want to make sure I get what ive asked for before sending others to their site.

Would hate to recommend a place and have them do the dodgey on someone.

Update on springs.. They arrived!

So the place I purchased them from is Awesome - VAG Specialists

They were well packed and came through ahead of schedule! Will certainly buy from these guys again!

The box says it all "Another quality product from awesome". Certainly is!


And inside the box is another box!

Just don't use the 3D glasses when installing them Bain

Depending on how difficult it is to pull apart the suspension system I might not need them to see red

Should be relatively easy... as long as you have a decent set of spring clamps and take your time it should be fine.
Are your springs linear or progressive? There was plenty of blurb in the Mk6 forum about progressives being noisy due to spring bind etc... so it will be interesting to see how it all goes.

Just a small update. Pulled the front drivers side wheel off yesterday to get a feel of what needs to be done.

These cars dont have the standard setup of the more traditional coil and shock absorber that Im used to. The bottom end of the shock absorber sits in a cradle that needs to be pried apart to get the shock out.

Think im going to leave this to a professional. So, does anyone know a decent workshop I can take my car to in Melbourne? (would prefer a place that's done similar suspension - Golf R's and Audi TT's)

I'll be taking my car to Volkspower when I'm ready for KW's.
I've had all my mods on the Audi, installed by them when I was down here last.

I would say the best mod for this beast is to upgrade the wheels and tyres. Go wide and you will see that you don't need AWD in most cases

I'm with you 10d,

I'm keen for some Fat fronts and even FATTER rears, not to mention some drop and poke is on my wish list.

Time to start looking for some very unique rims!
