Right now she's on springs, H&R's, mainly because the KW's I ordered were not in stock and I am still waiting to have them delivered, and I couldn't stand the height of the car in original shape, so therefore I run springs as of now. =)

I'm thinking about KW or Vmaxx too. How many mm do you want down ?

It's not so much about the lowering, but to keep the DCC, and that limits the options of coilovers, as far as I know, there's only one coilover that lets you keep the DCC option, and that's the KW DCC's, so those are the ones I've ordered. =)

Is DDC suspension from KW available for Sciroccos without DCC from factory ?

Hi, I love your car, mine comes in a few weeks....

Talking about H&R springs..... how are they? Are you agree with the ride comfort? Did they make full top when you ride on a whole?

My Rocc will be 1.4T... the code for H&R i think is the same as yours UP TO 1020KG right?

Im from Argentina and here we dont have too much options to lower our cars... so I dont want to make mistakes ordering them...

TXH !!
Paul.

Thanks man. =)

The H&R's are perfect in my opinion, the car feels more stable and looks much better, so that's maybe the first mod to do to the SCirocco if you ask me and you're not going to go coils, next summer however I will be using the KW coils, but until then, during the winter, I'll be running the H&R's... so I'd say go for them. =)

A few new shots, ready for a snowy Swedish winter:

I just stumbled upon it through ebay, more than that I don't know, I believe these are "homemade" so to speak, that you can buy the grill part from another VW and then build it into a standard Scirocco. And this one was a straight fit, no cutting or modding needed at all. =)

Here are two types I've found as I did a quick search:

Is it easy to replace RCD510 to RNS510 ? Or you need to reprogram board computer ?

Raised the DVD playback limiter, so now I can watch movies at higher speeds than the standard specs, I'm also looking into swapping out the harddrive to a SSD, but I'm not sure about that yet. =)

The swap itself is pretty easy, but there is some work needed to be done through programming, so you can't just swap it in, also for the GPS and Bluetooth there's a extra unit so to speak to install.

So, the best way is to upgrade via authorised service :)
