Looks good!

Originally 26.5 at all 4 corners. Installed this kit HR-Sport-Springs-VW-MK6-Golf-R-CM. Just shy of 1 inch lower. Great ride continued comfort and no added noise a bit stiffer on bumps.

Pictures right after initial installation

Sweet. I'm still deciding on HR or VWR. :iono:

Since it was going to be another month or so until APR would have VWR springs back in stock, I went ahead and purchased the H&R. Will be installing them this weekend

I'm sure they will be just as high quality and the ride will be good.

Are either springs a DIY install? If not what would one expect to pay for install from and Indy shop?

I will be doing the H&R come summer time then upgrade to the VWR coilovers in a year or 2 depending on how the shock hold up

There are some specific steps to follow. It can be a DIY if you have the knowledge with struts etc. only special tools needed are a spreader tool for the lower part of the strut housing and spring compressors, takes about 2 -3 hours. I think people are paying about 400 for a shop to do it.

H&R looks good, how to do they ride? Im worried about stock strut lifespam with those. From what Ive read only VWR and DG springs will not dramatically reduce the strut lifetime.

The H&R springs for my Golf R gave me the same drop as the DG springs on my GTI, so I dont see compression of the strut being an issue one one vs. the other.

Ride is great on the R.

Golf R on H&R sports and Koni yellow struts

I've attached a pic of my R on the H&R sports... these were taken right after installation. As you can see, the drop is actually a hair bit more than .75" (closer to 1" if anything). The drop in the rear is slightly more than the front (judging from the wheel gap). The ride is stiffer than stock, but overall excellent (note: I also have Koni yellow struts installed).

I originally ordered a set of VWR springs but the backorder was taking too long, so I canceled those and bought a set of H&R's. They're scheduled for install on 2-27, I'll take a few pictures after they're installed.

Did you order struts also?

Nope

Nope

Not buying into the "your struts will go bad" hype? I know plenty of people have them and haven't had issues but I'm still hesitant. Post up some pics when you get them and maybe that will be to motivation I need.
