CC Owners: Suspension/Wheels/Tires - with specs & pictures

[Eddie Designs]

ST coilovers are made by KW.
The KW V1, V2, V3, ST's.....all give the pretty much the same drop (and don't go that low).
They all just have different features is the difference

So if the V3's aren't working out...the ST's aren't gonna be any different

I was just going by what the owner of the ST coilovers said. They look like they go pretty low in the pictures.

5mm in the back is perfect....no rubbing.

Running 12mm's up front & with those Coopers....I was rubbing on the fender liner a little.

8mm's would be perfect....and thankfully H&R just introduced (well maybe they didn't, lol?) 8mm's with the wheel centric ring....these are what you want or get them from Dion:

Thanks very much, once again, Dan!!!
Spacers are ordered and on-the-way!
8's for the front and 5's for the rear.

I'm considering the thick 28mm rear sway bar from H&R (AWE) next.
What 'cha think???

Dan.... you're "The Man"
Are you enjoying your '13 DSG???

I'm running 12 front 5 rear I'm pretty much all the way down I have no rubbing , I went lil bit too low in the front and on dips I rubbed a bit luckily no fender damage then I spun them back up to what DAN originally had them set when he install them and no more issues , with 8 mm in the front you won't rub but 12 and trying to go low yeah for sure you will rub and possibly bent your fenders

Thanks, Toma, for your feedback!
I should be safe with the 8mm up front no matter how low I am on my Koni's.

BTW, I love the Coopers!!!
For the price, they BLOW AWAY the OEM Conti's in handling, both dry & wet!!!

DRL's are from Achtuning Korea, as shown in my signature.
Jae is great to work with Takes 3-4 days, air-shipped right from Korea!
Easy install with very explicit instructions (online).

They double as turnsignals, blinking yellow when active.

Do they cause any bulb fault lights?

[TMCCRline]

No fault lights!

I use these as my DRL's, with no headlights (via VAGCOM)

What kind of wheels are those, they are gorgeous.

[jokerdude1333]

In order of lowness:
Fk (helper springs removed)
Raceland (helper springs removed)
Vmaxx with adjustable dampers
H&R ultralows
Koni with adjustable dampers

I'm on vmaxx all the way down on 20s. I tuck all tire and sit fender to wheel. Perches in up front collars removed. No perches or collars out back. Dampers set three under hard. All my fenders are rolled. No fender liners. Passenger side frame notch for axle. Front will clean rocks off the thread every time i turn. No racekor turns for me, but i love the Lowz :-)

This pic is with sway bar still in. I have since cut it out and got another 1/4".

The 28mm might be a little too aggressive for everyday driving & especially in winter (that rear will come flying around).

I'd try the 24mm H&R RSB on stiff, first, and then see how you like it

Front is not as good looking as rear because 8.5
A little bit sad, I should have try 9.5 but maybe it would have been too large and would rub non-stop ...
I dont wanna use 205/35 on my car ... at least 225.
These pics are with 0.5cm spacers, maybe I should use 10mm ? (now rubbin' front when car charged)
(sorry bad english)

I was taking a right off of military and saw you turning left. I was in a white CC taking a right onto whatever road dave is off of. Yeah dave is a good guy and knows whats he doing for sure!

And car was looking Awesome

Not going to lie, ive been debating on getting air/coilovers and voiding my warranty..... But after seeing this pretty positive im gonna have to start ordering parts

Thanx for the love. Thier are a couple CC around here on air, and most that want to go real low go with the air route. I went coils for that same reason. To go LOW all the time not just when parked. Alot of work I put into her to have her sit the way she does though. Looking back I probably should have just went air to begin with. At least then I could drive anywhere I want. Now I have to be very careful.

What was Dave doing to yours? Pm me if you ever want to get together, need input, need help installing something or whatever.

Suspension "should not" void your factory warranty. Only on parts related to suspension could the dealership refuse to do repairs due to modifications.

Still needing to notch the frame. We are looking for a shop space down here in Atlanta, but hard to come by a good location for the right price. One location we looked at right next to the train yard, but probably a no go.

[baddceo]

Should not is the key word there. If they can justify that lowering causes a problem with the car rolling which in turn impacts the mechanicals they can deny coverage and trying to beat VW in a battle to prove otherwise will just cost you money. Besides if the dealer doesn't want to work on your car they just won't then they will flag your vin in the system and you will have problems everywhere.... Maybe!

[Eddie Designs]

The dealerships in Atlanta dont give a lot of issue. Every VW Ive owned to do warranty work has been lowered drastically have been repaired fine. Even the axles!

[washanobotit]

For those of you guys running 8.5" width, what offset if getting you flush or with a slight poke?
I have a 38 ET and the fronts aren't as flush as i would like. I want to get spacers but not sure what size

12mm should do it.
