I am newbie in this forum. Very interesting Scirocco forum here. Here i post my humble Candy White Rocco. Nothing much.. just changed the K&N 57s Filter kits and Eibach lower spring so far..... plan to change a 19" wheels later.. still searching for a matching shoes.

Welcome to the forum, You can get great help here.
19" wheels will look awesome. Depending on where you live in China, and where you drive but take care so you break them first time out.
Some of the provincial roads where i live are not so good and can hide some nasty bumps.

Thanks. I stay in Guangdong, Zhongshan. Road condition still consider ok. Thinking of getting a set of 19" Rotiform BLQ. But still searching.

Your engine at the photo is a 1.4 TSI 122, but at the interior i see DSG knob
So how you have a TSI 122 with DSG? this version doesn't exist at scirocco

Rotiform BLQ looks nice, a bit pricey but nice. did you look at Enkei and OZ Superforgiata. they would be in same price range abouts.
My car is still high off the ground on original springs. The roads just are not that great here in rural Sichuan. I'd like to have both options, low when on good roads and better ground clearance when required.

After serving me 3years, my little Scirocco finally have a little upgrade.

- Monoblock Rotiform KPS 19 inch 8.5j (235/35/R19)
- AP Racing CP5200 brake system
- All finish side mirrors cover
- Matt black VW front back emblems
- illest tow strap

Next maybe wanna change the exhaust system and KW suspension system. Any good exhaust system recommendations form all bro here?

Very nice. AP brakes are newer wrong. With a KW suspension to set it all off you will be laughing. I'm still bog standard as the wife has given the choice to modify the R or buy another car.

After change the wheels, it giving me nightmare..... i have did the wheel balancing for 4 time and wheels alignment for 2 time... but when my ride run above 110km/h, the care shakes like hell.... and i really dunno what happen and what else i can do. Some technician said my tires is not good enough. And some said is my DSG gear box start to give problem as in high speed the car shakes but my steering wheel is very stable.

I really no idea. Any bro here can help me on this????/

So the car shakes at high speed but the steering wheel is stable?

Have you checked the brakes? Are they sticking? Do you feel any vibration on the brake pedal?

AP Brakes are never wrong because they are one on the best choices. KW suspensions are also of the very best.

For the shaking car, i would recommend to remove the brake disc and measure the run out to see how much the center of the disc differs from the center of the hub. As you have two piece disc it is worth measuring it it

What tyres are they? What's the tread like on the inside of the wheel?
