New Scirocco R owner, need info on lowering

Hi guys,

I have followed many posts within this forum and find it extremely helpful! I have a black Scirocco R that I have lowered using H&R springs that are supposed to lower it 30-35mm. It seems to me as if the rear has been lowered the correct amount, but that front is till a bit high? Am I the only one who has experienced this? Because on the pictures I have seen of others' cars lowered on H&R, they sit equally low both front and rear. I have only had them in for a week does that matter?

I look forward to hearing from you guys. Thanks!

have you got the correct springs for your car? engine/DSG vs manual etc

Also I think you need to put some miles on it too

Mine sat like that for a while before they settled in.

Now sits perfectly equal! :yes: Dont worry about it , put a good few miles on the springs and you will see

I'm looking at getting h&r lowering springs for my car too. But I'm unsure of what Ines to get. I'm looking a 35mm drop. It's the 2.0 TSI with the DSG box. Can any one advise thanks

Vmaxx do 40mm drop

what did it do to ride quality?

Any issues with speed bumps?

I do think the R could still sit lower stock but don't want to wreck ride comfort and OEM geometry.

I had H&R on my GT. They got a bit lower after they'd bedded in.

How's everybody finding H&R springs on the R?
