Tiggy LIFT or DROP

[GTIBOT2.0]

Hello Everyone,

I'm not sure why i'm debating this idea in my head..must be the warmer weather and I'm just trying to occupy my time on the car

but what do you think is a better approach...

Lifting the Tiguan:
1. with JJJ Spaceers he developed
2. H&R lift springs witch has not the greates reviews

Drop:
3. H&R lower springs
4. B&G lower springs


driving habits in NYC is a lot of city driving and the occasional off to the snowy mountains.
but between that time is the long streath of the jersey turnpike.

just want to experience something different with the tiggy

no coilover options for me, I usallly fail at making changes once i feel comfortable with a height.

give me your thoughts on this.

give me your thoughts on this.

Going Low is easy, I have been waiting to see a lifted Tig

I heard they ride quality sucks with the h&r lift spring. Its my understanding that they use stiffer spring rates and shorter springs to achieve lift . I belive there is a set of b&g springs for sale in the classified section. They provide a nice subtle drop.

i would love that too.

i would love that too.

it was an idea of mine since I've done similar to my old Wrangler.

just called tirerack and they said that

255/70/16 is too big and they recommended that largest should be up to 235/60/16

I don't see the point in that, not aggressive enough.

anyone know the largest I can fit without issues?

maybe 255/65/16

I used the tire calc but that wont tell me if rubbing will occure.

thanks for any input.

Lift It !!! Thats what I want to do... Want to see one done right first. Put on the springs and a wheel/tire combo that works well...

Bag it like mine!

255/70/16 would work if there was a lift kit available...

Doesn't dropping an SUV just make it a station wagon?

I know I'm gonna get slammed for this, but WHY?
Why spend a pile of dough and void some suspension and maybe other warranty to marginally change the look of the car and put up with other potential issues, like tires rubbing.
Having said that, dropped Tigs look pretty cool.

I understand your confusion, as i was once in your position. Why do some people do things out of the ordinary is beyond a lot of us.
Without the do'ers and testers....how else will anyone know, maybe i can afford to try and if fail then try again. As simple as that.
Drops do look good...then i wonder why i got rid of my gti.....maybe my consideration of a drop is because i miss the low gti compared to the tig.
But the tig was purchased with a reason, avoid damaging 18" on city street and the harsh ride of stiff suspension. Am i the only few that enjoy going over speed bumps at full speed with the tig?
Lift you ask? Think of it as an urban offroad, paintball,snowboard,fishing,....these are just a few that brings me to locations where a lift would do justice.
How i miss my wrangler.

Now do you get my debate between lift or drop...

Just to set the record straight, I am not confused... people do things.
And after these arguments, won't STOCK give you the best of both worlds?

While I understand the desire to drop, I personally feel that if you want to drop something, stick with a GTI, Jetta, etc. If you're getting a Tig, leave it stock height or lift it!!! But that's just my opinion....

Hence my....phuck itjust leave it, is part of the poll

And I'm not surprised it got the most votes, Tig owners seem like a pretty conservative bunch.
