I have an order placed for a new VRS which should hopefully be with me early November

Now a lot of pictures have been published of the FL VRS and quite a few seem to show the car is riding a tad high.

Just wondering whether I should accept the car as standard and see how it handles/looks then maybe get some Eibach springs which lower by approx 30-40mm or

Ask the dealer to fit the approved lowering springs which are also Eibach at the PDI which lower by 20mm.

I still want the ride to be comfortable and not rock solid so thinking 20mm may be better in this respect plus it will avoid the initial 4x4 look on delivery

What would you do?

What would you do?

I'd stick some good coilovers on it.

Limited budget to begin with I'm afraid, that may come later

I'm sure I read that the suspension has been lowered slightly on the FL vRS. Mine (CR but pre-FL) is firm but acceptable, and I wouldn't want it any firmer.

What it feels like is going to be more important to you than what it looks like - so try it out.

Eibachs are a good compromise between handling and comfort at an affordable price, I'm not sure if you can use the springs from a pre facelift on the facelift cars though.

Thats true I'm not sure either. Can anyone confirm whether the springs are different between pre FL and FL VRS?

I'd stick some good coilovers on it.

Wega - you'd stick coilovers on a horse if you could!!

my order is going in this week - i've included the accessory (eibach) springs..

Air-ride! Gangsta!

Good compromise between cost / performance.

Cost no object and all that, I wonder if the trick magneto helio-dynamic struts from Audi / VW would fit.........now theres a thought.......:-)

I take it must mean they fit both pre FL and FL cars then, nice might give the dealer a bell the morn to get them added.
