Did they ever fix tapatalk hosting so you could delete pics that you don't want to remain public domain forever? That was my only gripe. Once you post through tapatalk, that pic will always be there. And I know you can edit your post(s), but you can't edit those where others quoted your url. So just be careful what you post using tapatalk. ;)

They quote a 15% increase in stiffness and I would say that is accurate. I drive my friends a lot and they did not notice any degredation in ride quality but I can notice the extra stiffness. I cant tell if they gave extra grip because I got wheels and tires very soon after the springs were installed. Overall im fairly happy with them. Biggest issue was the instalation. The front right spring was impossible to install based off of the DAP video i used for instruction. I ended up having to drive on 3 lowered springs for a week before i got the 4th profesionallt installed. Other than that there is some squeaking from the front left side that has slowly gotten better with time but I'm going to retighten everything and see if that helps further. Sorry if that was too much detail, hope it helps.

Thank you for information. I read the whole paragraph and its very informative. I'm planning to change my stock to VWR soon and I was curious if I should stay with the stock or have them swap to VWR. Was the handling better? Any scraps on the front lip due to bumps and/or potholes? I don't want to regret the change because it will be a waste of money and time, plus i don't like to alter too much things on my GTI.

Also a wheel alignment is needed after a few miles for the Springs to settle in, I believe.

I never got to do hard driving with just the springs so I don't know how they affect handling by themselves, but when paired with pilot super sports the handling is incredible. I'd highly recommend puchasing them. They look great and if you are good with your hands you can probably install 3 of the springs and have a shop install the fourth for not a whole lot of money. Scraping has not become a serious issue, it only scales on the very steepest driveways and going in at a slight angle removes a lot of risk. I'd recommend checking out the spring threads in the suspension section of this site for more info.

I posted 3 pictures, then deleted some of the coding by mistake.
After posting, I went back and deleted all 3 pics and reposted.
So for me it deleted posted pics.
