2012 cc r-line mods / eibach springs /oem sagitta /235 /35/19 good year eagle / trunk spoiler /10.5 mm spacers front /5 mm rear .

Hey, Toma.......

Are you still on your stock shocks with your Eibach springs?
If so, how is the ride holding up?
If not, what dampers did you go with?

[SlavaKM]

I feel like swapping my Rtails for red ones. Anyone in DC.MD.VA area interested?

Tell me when and where and I'll meet with you...

I'm in Bethesda. I would consider doing it. I also work in the city (though I metro in) so we could swap one day.

I can answer that as I bought his springs that they are no longer on the car lol.

I will be installing them in April.

[cwwiii]

Digging the oem look ^^

I wonder if he used any spacers?

Has to be using spacers because those wheels are ET41 I beleive.

Like I've posted before....they pair up perfectly with the OEM dampers while keeping an OEM like ride still
They're linear like the stock springs, but shorter (obviously) and slightly firmer to compensate for the shorter length (instead of a longer, softer OEM spring)

This is probably the best suspension setup for most of the guys on here....looking for a mild drop on their daily driver....and at only $220 for the springs it's a good deal considering you won't need new dampers

I was even paranoid when I bought the Pro-Kit springs (since I had a bad experience with the H&R's) and bought the Pro-Kit Dampers to go with them as well....without even trying them with the factory ones first
That ended up being a waste of $500. It rode like crap....it was rough and not smooth at all. It was too stiff.
Took them off and paired them up with the factory dampers instead....rode waaaay nicer.

From when Eibach introduced the springs:
"For those looking for the ultimate balance of ride comfort and response, The Pro-Kit lowered springs work in harmony with the factory damper units to lower the car by approximately 30mm"

10.5mm front spacer

Concept One RS-55 20x8.5 et38 front 20x10 et43 back.
Hankook Ventus V12 225/30/20 and 245/30/20 on Koni Coils

[DOQ fastlane]

^Looks excellent... OEM + perfection

[TMCCRline]

Beatiful, wash......

Mine's gonna look similar:
Koni coilovers going on with the month, with 20 x 8.5, 20 x 10 Lexani LSS-5 wheels (split 5-spoke)

Just got "chipped" (GIAC) on Tuesday.

Can't wait to get LOWER........

TM

[sickjettamk5]

its been awhile , coils are getting lower .

What fitment? coils, springs?

[cwwiii]

What fitment? coils, springs?

I'm pretty sure he was 20x9.5 not sure on the offset.

[washanobotit]

^Definately not. He was on 22x9 front and 22x10.5 out back if i remember correctly. You'll find his specs on one the teen pages

[Andy87]

Been looking at alloys for when my suspension arrives.
I like the OEM look, but want to make sure the increase in size is noticeable.

I viewed these today, they are available in 19" and 20", but think I will have to go with the 20's.

I have seen pics of these in 19", but has anyone ever seen them in 20".


They are 20" x 8" et35 so should be about right with spacers up front.

[SlavaKM]

Question for those with KWv1 / ST Coilovers.
Did you need to add spacers to have enough clearance for the wheels?
(I did with MK4 GTI and wanted to make sure)

Depends on the wheel specs obviously.

With my stock wheels, I just added spacers to push the wheels out for a better looking stance with my ST's.

Before spacers:


Not the best after:

[SlavaKM]

I have the stock 18s, and just wasn't sure if they would rub against the coilivers.
How do you like the ST? Is the ride firm/harsh?

[Rheinland Technik]

First mod on the CC4M was to tint the windows today, but as soon as the PSS10s come in, getting the ride height to the the desired level and then spacing the Sagittas to fill the arches.

Noooo they won't rub at all!

I had the ST's.
Nice coilover for the money. Just sucked that they weren't stainless (for winter).
Rode nice though. Not harsh at all.

Well i too worry about winter. But ST are same as KW V1, minus the stainless part.
Galvanized steel is ok, plus it has the anti-corrosive coating on it.
Michigan is a bit different than DC though, i hope it will be okay.

I had the KWv1 on my 03GTI, and they were great, but i got them for $850 at waterfest from HPA stand.
Doubt i'll ever a see a deal like that again.

[snobrdrdan]

^^^
I was torn last year between the V1's and the ST's. And due to my budget, I went with the ST's and just planned on removing them for winter anyways.
But I just took them off in the fall and sold them instead.
The V1's were ~$1050-1100 IIRC ($300 more than the ST's)

If I had to do it all over again, I should've gotten the Koni's to begin with for $980 SHIPPED:
http://www.redline-motorworks.com/pr...0.htm?CartID=1
COUPON CODE: GETKONI4LESS

They go lower than the ST's/V1's, are adjustable, and are cadmium plated and will hold up as good as the stainless

Needless to say, I just bought a used set of Konis in good shape

Thanks for input. I too was looking at KONI.
How is the ride on them? I had VR6 V1s on my 1.8T Gti for extra stiffness, but im older now and don't want a harsh ride.

I've been on Koni coils for a year now and it's nice having the adjustable dampening. I'm at medium stiffness and it is a bit bumpy but comfortable at the same time. But you can always make the ride softer. I love the Konis. The ride is great and they go pretty low.

I work for a steel fab shop, and salt water from the road will corrode galv pretty quick, SS is the way to go. Just sayin....

+1 on Konis. I've put 13k miles on them sadly in under one year.

Bilstein PSS10s came in today. Now it is a matter of getting them installed.

I haven't put mine on yet....waiting for warmer weather
