It felt strange to set the suspension at 15/20 stiffness and the highest position and still get fender rub on all corners. I mean, there was nothing more to adjust on that coilover in order to avoid the poke ! The car had about 10mm lower ride height than with the B16 set at medium height !!!

Curious. On all pics in this thread height is adjusted on front not at limit.
On front there has been ~10 mm left and on rear at least 25 mm.
Now I did not adjust anything and the front is raised at least by 10 mm.
(wheel center to arch 338 + 335 and now ~ 348 + 335 mm)
The new springs are some millimeters longer and noticeably stiffer.
Of course I'm below 1400 kg - no DSG, no 4-dr, not fully loaded at all.
Rex, there might be slight differences depending on which make the
mounts are. I went for genuine Volkswagen parts which I had the chance
to purchase them at a reasonable price.

So they are not Febi Bilstein like in the photo?
the bruce:
No, I just couldn't find a picture of my own mounts and posted the Febi one. :ashamed:
the bruce:
Sadly I have no video of this. Last sunday I had a visit at the ....
.... Nürburgring Nordschleife. :drinking:
Due to business I had a trip near the Nürburgring. That's why I've run 19" street tirers.
:smiley:
ps:
no brake issues :wink:
rex:
Nice photos and good news about the brakes (but Nurburgring is not exactly a demanding circuit brake-wise).
