Re: Anyone runninng coilovers
KW had a R on V3's with HLS on show at Autosport. Lowered by about 50mm...but i didn't take a pic of it.,
Don't think anyone has put collies on yet on a R. Set of Lowering Springs will do just fine really. Too many speed bumps around!

Re: Anyone runninng coilovers
when i spoke to KW a few weeks ago they said there R was on clubsports and HLS rather than V3s, the V3 kit is out as posted in this section before, the v3 kit has revised springs compared to the roc for the GT

i might just fit some h&r springs first
Re: Anyone runninng coilovers
that KW R had 10mm spacers front and back too!!!
Re: Anyone runninng coilovers
Scirocco R certainly doesn;t really suit OZ Super T's
Looks to be sitting a bit awkward aswell, drop the front a tad more and it'd be better.

Re: Anyone runninng coilovers
How does the adjustable dampers work with something like coilovers? intersted to know how that works in that, you have 3 settings, sport, normal and comfort. Anyone got any knowledge or experience what those settings are like post-coilover implementation?
Will sport become unuseable? Educate me!

No one produces a coilover kit which is compatible with the OEM system, yet.

KW run a ACC delete gizmo so that u don't get any flashing lights on the dash when you run their coilovers.

How does that ACC delete thing work then? Can it be easily put back to standard?Chungster wrote:KW run a ACC delete gizmo so that u don't get any flashing lights on the dash when you run their coilovers.
so to retain the ACC, you can only use springs?
do all companies (eibach, H&R, koni etc) use the same feature? or is KW the only set-up available for the R?
