Afternoon guys and girls, so with the build underway and most things going in the right direction, I can look at something which has been slightly bugging me

The stance

The l&k is high, or at least seems it, what have you people don't to reduce that arch gap, i dont want want anything ridiculous, just to lower it by 20-30mm front and rear. Any pics with any links appreciated!

The option would be for B6 DCC shocks or Koni ones with springs in that case.  Coilovers will lower it too much from the rear.  

I have the dcc setup at present just looking to lower it a little, dont want to change the shocks,. Just the springs if poss

Its a 2.0 Tsi dsg 

@Dahmich- I've lowered mine with Eibach Pro-kit springs.

 

Because mine has DCC, the springs lower the car about 25mm.

Works perfectly fine with the DCC shocks.

I also recalibrated the DCC shocks after the car was lowered.

 

Anything more that 35mm, then u need to change to aftermarket shocks.

 

Very happy with my setup.

Looks nice fairplay 

I've noticed  on the eibach website there are two diff part numbers for what appears to be the same kit, can anyone shed a little light

the difference is in the spring load/weights.

Do you have a similar shot to your last pic above but for the rears?  And what rim/tyre specs are you using too please. Oh and any spacers front or rear?

 

Looks perfect setup by the way. 
 

also what does recalibrate the DCC shocks do/involve please?

Thanks.

Rear shot below.

 

Rims r the factory 19" Trinity/Phoneix.  19 x 8" ET44 to b exact.

Tyres r 245/40/19.  they originally came with 235/40/19. 

spacers (hubcentric):- 15mm front / 10mm rear

 

as for the DCC-recalibration......it basically calibrates the DCC shocks to the car's the new drop height.  lowering springs r shorter than factory springs, which means on full extension, the shocks don't extend like it did before.  the re-calibration enable the shocks to control the rebound & compression better, hence less bouncy bouncy and wallowing. 

 

The calibration is done with all four wheels off the ground, so the DCC module stores the fully extended value of the sensors (2 up front, and 1 at the rear).

Once the car is back on the ground, the DCC module stores a "center" value.

DCC will only allow you to run the re-calibration with the suspension fully extended.  The level sensors (all 3 of them) need to b in the proper range, i.e when the suspension is extended.

I'm on Eibach pro kit as well. But I have Audi TT rear top bushings instead of the OE bushings.

Do we have any part numbers available for these? The tt rear top bushings 

Is it only the rear?

Click on links i posted above

So..   6hrs later as I went cleaning as I went along... Two broken rear springs and perishing top mounts made my £60 posted lowering kit even sweeter.... 

Also using the audi tt rear top mounts

 

 

 

That's a good looking car! 😃

Jeez chaps - sold on these when the time comes. @JR RS - spotted the tyre change; are spacers needed to stop the 245s from rubbing internally? Or just aesthetically (very) pleasing?

No, the spacers r not required.

The 245 tyres do not rub anywhere.

But if u put too wide a spacer with 245 tyres, it will rub on the outside, fender.

 

I put the spacers for aesthetics.

As above, no the 245s are fine, but anything more than the 15mm spacers and it becomes an issue. 

 

 

Cheers both.
