Scirocco r mods

[tonyjai]

Hi anyone planning to do aftermarket modifications? If so what are your potential mods?

After getting a rear sway bar, I'm planning to get coil overs/springs, does anyone know if it will affect the Adaptive chassis control?

[kaanage]

I think KW make the only coilovers that are compatible with ACC. It will be disabled with other brands AFAIK

After the 3k service I'll be lowering, new rims and possibly an aftermarket tune. Part from that I'll be getting some grey tint heh.

Those coil overs look nice so will check into the pricing of those.

Well... there is the other thread that has info on Reversing Camera and an expression of interest for Carbon Fibre mirror caps... plus another one about APR... perhaps they should all be rolled into one thread.

The coil overs are the ONLY way to get the sort of stance that 10d has on his black one.. but damn they are expensive for the ACC compatible ones. I will pass....

I'm getting a VWR air intake, votex CUP spoiler (fiberglass, already ordered) and paint the rims.... and a tune by maybe Veizu? to follow.

hmm K-mac make custom springs. If the coilovers are super expensive, I think ill go with some Eibach springs first off and do the changeover myself.

Did anyone read the Scirocco Wheels COTY write up? Sum it up... great car... suspension on the standard 19 inch wheel way to harsh.

Depends what you're after. I prefer harder suspension to the boaT like suspension most people are used to.

Also read the roads they used.. Personally when I tested the Roc it was on pretty ordinary roads.. certainly not super smooth freeways / motorways (do they exist in NSW) and the suspension was set to normal. I didn't change the setting but found the ride to be firm but perfectly acceptable for a 3 door Sport Coupe.

There was / is a similar argument that is ongoing with the Golf R about 19's vs 18's and ride etc...

Personally.... I would have ordered it with 19's anyway...

Not concerned about the ride - if I wanted to drive around in a lounge room I would have ordered a Lexus or something.

Two things that I would consider changing (and these will seem really silly) are:

covered drinks holder
covered 'cubby' hole in front of the DSG gear selector

I just think the interior looks a little unfinished with these holes in the console - especially the cup holders.

Apparently a golf lidded drink holder can be substituted in according to the guys on sciroccocentral.

+ tint of course

Later maybe APR stage 1 (or similar) and suspension upgrade but will live with the standard car for a while.
