Anyone running Emmanuelle Design springs ?

[Derushi]

Just ordered my ED springs on the sale, thinking about going with the 10/15 spacer setup. What brand is everyone with this setup going with?

19x8 ET50, 235/35/19. 10f/12r H&R spacers. I was originally gonna do 8 up front but the shop didn't have them in stock so I ended up with this setup. So far so good, doesn't seem to rub in full lock.

Some rubs up front when I hit a road imperfection or a bump at a decent enough speed. It bothers me to be honest, I'll do the fender screw mod later to see if it helps. It seemed to have helped others who run similar or more aggressive setups.

Also, for you guys installing these. Are you replacing any of the hardware? And are there any torque specs I should look out for?

Is there any reason you didn't? From what I've read, a lot of those bolts and nuts are one-time use and are recommended by VW to replace when doing any suspension work. I think the basic kit that includes everything is only around $60.

No reason to replace anything, subframe bolts are 1 time use stretch bolts.

I have been having some major noise issues which turns out to be the top coil catching on the coil under it.
See this thread:

I swapped the springs with all new mounts bearings and hardware. Here are pics of the old springs with 3000 miles on them. Paint flaking right off and binding marks galore.

At the minimum, replace the (front) strut bearings

Crild, are you getting any noise at all from yours? You would need to have windows closed and AC on low to hear it.

None at all. Quite as oem.

You're thinking of aftermarket strut mounts. The bearings should be replaced to make sure you don't get any binding noises while turning, if the OEM parts are worn.

Sure, but I wanted to clarify for everyone else that strut bearings at minimum should be considered. With more mileage it's more important.
