Make sure to disconnect the xenon leveling arm on the drivers rear before lowering the arm.

For me this is one of those things that if I didnt have access to a lift I would have someone else do it. that said.
this should get you started.

if you are feeling brave you can replace the bushings as well you will be happy you did. If you dont have a whole crap load of miles you may not even need a blow torch to get them out either. just my 2 cents

complicated? nah man. I've done plenty of VW installs, this is my 6th VW. Just wanna make sure the install tech write up is similar to the others.
Thanks for the links.

It's not that hard. I can't find the thread on used on mkv but the vortex thread is http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4968868-MK6-DTS-Coilover-Install-(DIY)-and-Product-Review
I did it by myself using a lift in about 2 hours, shouldn't take much more time using jack stands as long as you make sure they are placed more towards the middle so the control arms can still drop down.

Wait, so is it the same as MKV installs?

Identical for mine. Now I don't have the auto leveling headlights or whatever so I have no idea about that. Mine was the exact same as the MKV platform though.

Thanks. Car has less than 500 miles on it, may just spend $250 and do the H&R Super Sport springs rather than going ballz deep into $1200 coilovers. How harsh are those springs on the stock struts? I'm never fond of doing a spring on OEM stock install however assuming the car is right out of the factory .... ?

my understand is the euro cars run a bit lower so if your not putting on the race springs then you should not have a lot of trouble (not more then normal wear an tear) on the stock struts.
I am no expert by any means so please someone step in and correct me if im way off base.
