Re: Does anyone actually have OEM Euro springs installed yet? (erick.s)
I just test fitted them on my car last night. Getting it aligned today. Looks like we picked the correct rears as there is different weight ranges available. It makes it sit "nice" not to low not to high.
Here is a quick pic

More pics comparing them to stock & the H&R sports & Bilstein Sports I pulled off to try these coming soon.
I'm hoping to have more kits in a couple weeks, if they come off backorder form VAG

I love it, I also just bought the cut out lower grills, I have been looking for them for a few weeks now, nobody has had them in stock
Awesome, that's perfect! So great to have brave Americans to experiment with this stuff so us poor Canadians can follow suit...we don't even have the 18's available yet but it certainly looks like it's worth the wait.
Are there any spacers or anything that needs to be installed cause of the 18's?

So far it's nice, Feel's close to stock for sure but not as floaty that's for sure. I'll be hitting the local canyon tonight & a track day on Monday with it. So I'll post more impressions next week.

| Nice. I can't wait to see the before and after pics. Do you have any initial driving impressions? |

| Beautiful. Hopefully someone will figure out what Jetta springs are comparable one day. |

Not that it looks like, My car did have the additional bumpstops on the spring that the cars with 18's are supposed to have. I did not re-install them. Seems to be working fine http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

My plan is next week once I wash it & let it settle(if it has to) I will be taking a pic in the same place that these were taken.

I should have some nice comparison shots by Tuesday. Along with measurments to compare that I have teken & noted with each suspension so far.
I took that pic real quick & it was just parked in the wrong place to really see the gap good.

i'd like to see a stock shot against the euro springs... My gti on 17's has 3.25" gap between the top of the tire and the highest point on the fender well...anychance you could pop a tape in there and measure to see what the true reducxtion is?
