Finally H&R was installed, and share some thoughts with you guys. The ride is unbelievably comfort and you almost cannot tell it's from stock or not, just a little firmer at the bumps. Perfect for daily drivers like me. I will recommend higher end H&R adjustable coilovers for tracks, I don't...

Guys I made an appointment for my H&R cup kit to install at one of the APR dealer next wednesday, the personel told me to drive at least 1 full week before wheel alignment. Now, I'm still shopping my 18 or 19" wheel for my car, do I have to do 2 times on alignment or should i wait for my wheels...

Hi, UPS guy just handed me the Kit and post the picture right away! H&R recommends the original front & rear dust boot and bumpstop must be reinstalled on the H&R shock rods. My MKV does not equipped with 18" wheel option, so I don't have the bumpstop, you guys think I should go get it before...

"Must be used in conjunction with Bump Stops 000071501. A new rear alignment is required for vehicles originally equipped with 16" or 17" wheels." This is the requirements from VW if we want the 18" wheel option. Do we have any problems to install aftermarket 18" wheels?

I was told that our MKV is using 5x112mm bolt pattern wheels, I thought all wheel says 5x112 will fit MKV. Actually, the Tirerack personel told me that was not the case. Some 5x112 may not fit because of the calipers' locations, so we can't just pick 5x112 aftermarket wheels, whatelse we have to...

Guys Just got the H&R springs from Tirerack today. I was told that the coilover is way better than just replacing the springs. Some members said the xenon was ok after the installation, some not. any comments????:iono:

Anyone knows there's a way to reduce the distance between the clutch pedal and the floor??? or do I really have to replace the whole clutch and flywheel system??:thumbup:

Our MKV GTI has tire-monitoring sys i believe, any problems if I replacing the entire set of wheels and tires.:wink:

Any advantages if I use wider tires (wider wheel as well) at rear? and any differences I just use the spacers instead of using wider wheels? Enjoy yr cars.:thumbup:

Guys, anyone have tried to let the dealers install the H&R and the wheels? or they won't do this at all??:confused: :confused:

Just picked up my GTI yesterday, I was told that the recent turbo design doesn't need any cool down period before shut the ignition off, is it true????:confused: :confused:
