This is just a warning. If you bought your Mk7 GTI at Qauto in Qatar and find the ride to be too harsh, please check if the strut blocks/spacers are still installed in the front suspension inside the shock absorber shroud. These circular plastic blocks are used during shipping to prevent the car from bouncing up and down and must be removed before delivery. There are six blocks, 3 in each front wheels and they come in colour orange and/or light blue. The mechanics at Qauto might have overlooked them during inspection since they are completely hidden from view unless you actually look for them. To remove, just lift your car to decompress the shocks then pull the blocks out one by one.
