What's the most comfortable springs to pair with koni yellows?
Stock. Most comfortable performance springs are gonna be DG.

Did you run the short bumpstops Eibach supplied for the rear struts? I have a set of Pro-Kits I’ll be installing this week over my Konis and I’ve debated between the supplied rear bumpstops or going with the 118 mm length VW “sport spring” stops that look like they have a similar rate progression curve as the stock bumpstops.
I’ll probably end up trying both, they’re easy enough to change.

I used the oem bump stops because they had the dust shield on them. I remember when I installed them comparing to the oem and them being the same length.
So pretty much the milder the drop, the milder the ride.
Any consensus on progressive springs? I'd be willing to give up some handling for comfort and/or looks. Eibach Pro-Kits are one of the softest progressive springs, no?
I have been running Bilstein B8's with DG Springs for 8 months or so now. Car feels more planted than stock, but has zero harshness with day to day driving. I love it.
Just throwing my .02 into the mix.
I know Bilstein makes good shocks, but with all the complaints on the MkV forums from years ago complaining about them being excessively harsh I always hesitate a bit to recommend them.
Was at a VW/Audi specialist the other day installing the Tyrolsport Subframe Kits. I was telling him how I’m getting the itch to do some upgrades, even though the car is a 2011 and has 61k miles. It has an APR Flash for 5 years now, but other than that I haven’t done anything. He told me that it’s probably better to sell the car and buy something newer, since all the headaches will start now. Not ready to buy something, as the cars I like aren’t in my price range right now, and after installing new tires, a new fuel injector, new spark plugs, new front and rear brakes and rotors, and the Tyrolsport Subframe kit, I feel like I’m in pretty good shape for the car to last. Also he was mostly saying it about adding power to the car at this point, but that’s not something I’m looking to do. The ECU upgrade I have is plenty, and at the most it would just be to add an intake maybe.
Anyway, wanted to see your opinion on this.
As for the mods, I wanted to get the VMR V710s 18 x 8.5 on Conti DWS 06 225x 40 R18s. Handling, and having that feeling of control and comfort at all speeds is important to me, so I wanted to see if DGs with Koni Yellows are the best combo for performance and comfort, and better than stock. Lastly, do you think a sway bar is needed? If so, I was thinking of grant and rear from eibach.
Thanks for the feedback!!!
Hey .... for those with DSG and 4 door mk6 GTI's .... do any of you have your OE front springs lying around that you could post a picture of, that shows the paint codes??
I cant get part numbers unless i have paint codes.
Thanks.
