How's your ride with the springs? I've been seriously considering throwing a set on mine but, like you, mine is a daily driver (I do 500 miles a week) so I don't want anything too crazy. Is it harsh or bouncy at all?

my '12 TDI SE

I've had my car a couple months and am pretty happy with the car especially after I put my 19" oettingers and H&R springs on. It's my daily driver and I commute so I'm loving the mpg's, but could use more power!! Any suggestions that won't kill the warranty or the mpg's too bad?http://flic.kr/p/dgv9sk
apparently I can't upload a pic!

I like the ride - obviously a little stiffer which is what I wanted, my three cars before this all had sport suspension so I like it. The springs also helped close the gaps left after I put the wheels on this car ate up the 19's pretty good, but I like the look now

Looks great! I love the look of the drop. I came from an Audi A3 with the sport package so if the H&R offers a similar ride I can handle that. The A3 handled great and rode nice.

Yeah I came from two A3's and an A4 all with sport suspension - one other mod I didn't mention is the Recaro Baby seat in the back seat, which is why I made the switch to the bigger passat, but I'm super happy with the ride - I see people on here complaining about it, but yeah I dig it.

thanks man! yeah I'm really liking everything about this car - it ate up the 19"s though but the slight drop from the springs really made it look good - the 19" wheels at stock level left me with gaps that I couldn't live with...but yeah happier now. now I want to see about fog lights, maybe get the engine tuned, and possibly switch out some of the speakers and add an amp...
