Euro R springs

[Lamfalus]

I hear the work thing. Anxiously awaiting the results.

To update my post above, the actual total for all the listed hardware (before taxes) was only $62.

Mmmmmm, Euro springs, they're what's for dinner.

Find a way to put a fixed amount of weight on these and then also on the stock springs and measure displacement on both so we can determine rate. Though if they're not linear springs this won't mean as much.

what a tease!!

any updates? On the fence between these and H&R sports.

Springs are going on the car today. I will test drive and take pics and measurements of the car tomorrow before the new wheels go on and will post a write-up later this week.

Are you installing them yourself? Or going to ELM? Can't wait for the write up!!

I was going to install them myself, but I've been far too busy with work for that. I had a few other things that ELM was doing for me, so I just added the springs to the list.

Nice man. Take before and after pics wrt to springs and wheels.

I really don't think there will be any discernible difference in handling/ride pre/post euro spring install but make note of that as well. I can't wait to see how your car will look, and I'm finally picking up my car tomorrow, cant wait!!!

Nice! I'm having them install some things for me as well. How are they're prices?

Certainly. Congrats on finally getting your R.

Their prices are reasonable, especially when you have them install multiple items at once. I've been quoted slightly better prices for similar types of work elsewhere, but I like their service (they definitely go above and beyond) and they know VWs.

Who did you order your parts through?

Looking forward to hearing your impresssions post-mod.

I ordered through OEM+, but with the part numbers, you should be able to save yourself some cash by ordering directly through your dealer.

Good advice, many thanks. Please update us with a confirmation that your hardware parts list in an earlier post is accurate or not, once you get everything installed.

You are very generous to share all of your due diligence and it's appreciated by all I'm sure.

TLud, did they include bump stops for the front and rear? If so, can you provide those part numbers? Also, do you know if the bump stops vary between 2 and 4 door?

Thanks for your contributions.

I certainly will.

I'm very happy to help.

I talked to an OEM+ rep about this, and because I have an R, OEM+ did not include bump stops. They did not have to because the bump stops are identical between the Euro and NA models. There is no need to change them out.

Fantastic. I'll check with a local dealership to see if they can beat the online suppliers. I can't wait to see your car.

Guys look what I just found sitting in the shop!

Edit: And here are his wheels ready to be mounted!

ELM is also doing stage 1 on mine

Thought I would be picking it up today, but it looks like APR didn't strain themselves to get my HPFP back to me in one day, so hopefully tomorrow.

Yeah, unfortunately it won't be ready. Sorry I missed you. You're going to love Stage 1.

Well looky there, it's my little Tiguan sitting on the rack, looking nice and diRty as usual.

Stage 1 will put a serious grin on your face.

[dreidreisieben]

Love the license plate

You might already know this but "Das R" is technically translated to "The letter R", whereas "Der R" would be in reference to the car.

Just thought I would chime in as a native german

Die Leute denken das Auto von den Reklammen auf dem Fernsehen. Oder "Der R" war bei jemand anderem gestohlen



Wheels are looking great
