What did you do today to your CC ?

**Bthasht** · 03-22-2012 05:35 PM

Had my car tuned today by Precision Motor Werks in VA. Unitronics stage 1+. Lady was great that tuned it, and tune itself is wonderful. I definetly love it.
Also ordered my audiosources in dash head unit with navi,dvd,cd,aux.

**CC'ed** · 03-22-2012 09:24 PM

Bought another CC, a 2012 Lux+ DSG for the wife....now we have matching cars... Also ordered a BSH 27mm RSB, my original H&R 24mm RSB will go into wifeys car, the BSH is for me. Next is install of the Conceptual Polymers catch-can into hers, before the intake tract gets too mucked-up.

**joker1124** · 03-22-2012 10:25 PM

Ordered a set of Eibach springs to install before I drop the wheels on.

Really? 21mm? I guess I didn't research enough. For some reason, I was thinking stock was around 18mm. I did find that a lot of people were getting the 27mm BSH bar for the CC and was thinking I didn't want as aggressive of a bar since this is not a track car by any means. I probably should have gotten the 24mm bar but I don't know if its the combo of the 22mm bar and the springs, but handling is much improved and good enough for what I need.

I noticed a bigger difference with the 24mm rear bar on my GTI then on this car though (same exact bar for both cars)

The longer wheelbase on the CC is what makes the difference in handling obviously

thats not the worst spot for it..IMO i want people to find out on their own that i'm tuned.

its not as fun when you have stickers to show it

**DOQ fastlane** · 03-23-2012 09:45 AM

New front struts going in and wheels getting mounted.

Comparison pic of H&R 24mm vs stock:

That's not that much difference, huh? Is the stock bar hollow and the H&R solid, though? I upgraded my old S4 to a Hotchkis RS4 bar that was 29mm (Hotchkis S4 bar is 24mm) and when I bought the CC bar, I was thinking it was only 24mm. I think that was my confusion why I chose the 22 instead of the 24/27mm bars.

I think you should remove those. If you must have that, place it where the 2.0T emblem is on the trunk lid.

I was thinking the same thing. Terrible location. That's where most of the JDM boYz put their fake chrome vents yo

**atmstang05** · 03-23-2012 05:59 PM

Recently: 20's, eibach springs, apr carbonio (to go with me apr stage 1 previously installed). Waiting on Borla Catback, e-code headlights and clear turns. Almost done!

Oh yeah...dirty but it gets the point across

**DOQ fastlane** · 03-23-2012 08:02 PM

Wow.. What in the hell are those wheels? Never seen them before.
Pretty nice... Different

**phaetonphanatic** · 03-23-2012 10:02 PM

Those wheels look really sharp. Nice car!

**lipprandt35** · 03-23-2012 10:18 PM

Just bought these wheels from another member. Picking them up next weekend. Also got some H&R springs. Will post pics when the install is complete.

I already have one where the 2.0T was.

**DOQ fastlane** · 03-24-2012 05:38 AM

So this would be a second one?

The stock bar is hollow and the H&R is solid and also has the more solid bushings.....it'll be a little different, but the 24mm bar would've been more noticable

**atmstang05** · 03-24-2012 08:45 PM

Well, I got them from usarim, I had the mallory's but I messed one up so I decided to go bigger since the oems are so expensive. There are some black wheels that are an option on the GTI, I think these are a rep (bigger) and a different color. Super good deal and the company has good reviews. The pics don't do it justice, I'll get some legit ones when I get the lights and exhaust.

Thanks!

Thanks! That's what I was going for. I like the one of a kind type deal. I'll get some better pics soon, those were taken from my iPhone and my driveway is a little sloped so they look odd. I love the ride with the Eibachs.

**atmstang05** · 03-24-2012 08:49 PM

Curious, what are thought on debadging. I've thought about it, maybe doing that and then getting some euro r-line badges for the sides. I want it to look clean, but at the same time I want it to be identified. Thoughts?
