To continue the information gathering... Seems there are a variety of OEM options here. But how is one to know which sets should be 'mated' ? If the goal is multi rolled... increase the ride height, stiffer/taller suspension for towing/higher weight rating and to accommodate a larger tire size and of course for visual effect, then what should be the direction to go? This is what i have gathered so far. My Yeti as it currently stands... Stock Front Spings- L66 PN: 1K0411105DM2, Shocks: unkown Rear Springs- 0YK PN: 1K0511115CR1, Shocks. unkown Rim and Tires: Matterhorn's with worn out Summer 225/50 R17 Tires, also have the classic boring 16'' winters on it currently I am actually quite pleased with the way the tires fill in the wheel arches... a little more is ok as well. Using the tire calculator the diameter would increase by about 20mm... so 10mm on either side towards the fender walls. That should be no issue in the Foto above and visually probably makes little difference. Question #1... Will lifting it (Delta 20mm Lift) or changing springs/shocks significantly change the wheel arch height? or is that mostly affecting ground clearance? Question#2... How am I to find the current shock installed if I cannot read it off the shock itself? Question#3... How do I figure out which OEM Shock to Spring set up should be together? OR what is the difference between them?

(ALSO 6Jx16) which i do like significantly better 🙂 As I am looking at the Geolander A/T Tires... 215/65 R16 vs 215/60 R17 Question#4 If I am understanding correctly... going with the 16'' size will allow a bit more offset 'clearance' when at full lock to avoid rubbing? It seems to be very individual when asking others about their set up and if it rubs. But seems that most with 16'' do not... Some do and some do not with the 17'' Of course actual tire and wear is a factor too. Questions#5 Lastly... in conjunction with Question#1... will the lift kit change the positioning/amount of space and allow more clearance when at lock? Still toying with the idea of using the Geolander's year round or putting a set of Summer 225/55 R17 on to the Matterhorns. Just for visual appearance. But not sure if that will create the rubbing situation again.

Well that is a trial of frustration... I figured I could get some info regarding spring length etc and judge from there. But it seems by going to GNK online site... every manufacturer has a slightly different length/diameter etc... so no real way to determine anything there. Plus spring compression rate which is NOT listed also plays a role. Also to get a general overall lift... just raising the rear doesn't help. And to change the springs in the front... I would think the shock absorber would have to be changed as well? Correct? At least to keep things 'equal'. And lastly... just installing (whether correct or not) all 4 of the Tiguan +30mm lift springs...

Thanks for the input and confirmation. Sadly only a highly complicated way to get the heated steering wheel set up

As the title suggests... I don't know of one and have not found anything. Is that correct?!

Thanks, I have read nearly all the threads on the Yeti forum and found those that you mentioned. Including other sites I also found cheap another set of the Matterhorn rims so would like to use those for both the summer and winter sets. I am considering the Geolanders... but the 215/60 R17 size... (yes I am aware of the increase in size and all the legal ramifications involved) I want to compile all the info and decide from there According to the tire size calculator... it says -7,7% speedo error... and when I compare my speedo now to GPS real speed... it would 'theoretically' be pretty damn close. The wheel well rub (probable/potential) is what I am trying to figure out without mounting and finding out after the fact. And lastly... I was also posting specifically about the Tiguan springs for the +30mm... as there is no actual thread or specific experience posted just a few 'comments in the wind' and am looking for anyone who would/could comment on the fitment as such. Even a PM would be great. The heavier duty OEM springs are also an option and will look into them as well

Great, thanks for the info! I have looked at my Build codes. Front - L66 Rear - 0YK So now the question is... what are the differences? I will see what google has to say... but if anyone else knows... please chime in Also Eibach responded as expected... ''Unfortunately we have no data on this. We do not list any lift kit for the Yeti in our latest catalogue so unfortunately we would not be able to comment on whether this will fit or not.''

Seems there might be some 'experience', opinions, information etc about possibly fitting VW Tiguan Springs on the Yeti... I would appreciate any info and insights. Thanks

Yes, but it is also good now how the vehicle came from factory.

I took out my Spare wheel/lifted rear deck and reverted to the lower trunk and got a the carpet piece for it as well. An I found this sensor und the rear seats carpet. Anyone know what it is for?

Thanks, i was mainly referring to the suspension stuff... if I was somehow lucky and already have it, I think not though

Saying hello from Snowy Austria 🙂 Got our first serious amount of snow in the east and looking forward to a drive in my new (to me) Yeti

@Rooted Thanks, I have messaged them. Awaiting a response 😉 @Bris_Yeti Thanks for the link. I found that online as well... so heading in the right direction. Curious to see what Eibach Europe has to say. Another thought/question occurred... I have heard/read I think... that some versions of Yetis came with a 'upgraded' suspension? I assume maybe like a towing package or 'offroad' package? Does that sound right to people here? Mine does have the extra under carriage 'protection'... extra plastic covers etc. So wondering about that.

Hey Bris_Yeti... have you got any more specific info about the Eibach Springs that you mentioned? Thanks
