After the DG springs settled, the total drop was about 1 inch.How much lower is your car now ? since with B8 + DG springs?
Ty
It wasn't bouncy at all, just stiffer where I could feel more of the imperfections of the road. As Clem mentioned, 10-15% stiffer sounds about right.Thanks for the reply!
it is under-damped ? bouncy over potholes/bumps or just stiffy in terms of not as comfortable ?
Total 1 inch from stock everything? or after changing to B8 plus?After the DG springs settled, the total drop was about 1 inch.
What's your total drop BananaSLug ? if you remember, caz you would have the same setup as I would eventually go forIt wasn't bouncy at all, just stiffer where I could feel more of the imperfections of the road. As Clem mentioned, 10-15% stiffer sounds about right.
When I had OEM shocks the total drop with DG springs was 1 inch. Now with the B8's installed it raised the ride height by roughly a 1/4 inch. I'll take a pic for you later on.Total 1 inch from stock everything? or after changing to B8 plus?
D= B8 Plus increased it by 1/4 inch ? LOLWhen I had OEM shocks the total drop with DG springs was 1 inch. Now with the B8's installed it raised the ride height by roughly a 1/4 inch. I'll take a pic for you later on.
I went for DG based on the good reviews on here. I was also able to get them from the VW dealer near me for a decent price so I went for it. Here is a picture of the car as it sits now. After looking at it for a bit it appears the B8's only raised the car by maybe 1/8th of an inchD= B8 Plus increased it by 1/4 inch ? LOL
picture =o!
Thank you!
btw how come you did not go for Eibach or H&R springs instead?
I honestly do not remember the measurements, but I have some pictures.Total 1 inch from stock everything? or after changing to B8 plus?

Did you notice any performance difference with just DG springs on stock system?They were great, rode almost like it did with the stock springs.

B8 Pros:im weighing out the pros and cons of stock vs B8's
what are your pros and cons of b8's vs stock shocks?
Thanks y’all. The rear of my car, with stock everything has a 3 finger gap. Front has 3 1/2 finger gap. So I definitely need TT padsDefinitely install the B8's if you have them.
I'm on B8's and H&R Sports. Car is about 1.25" lower. The ride does stiffen a little but it's really not bad. You "float" less at high speeds and don't bounce around as much on really bad roads. Combined with the rest of my setup the car really feels composed and stays very flat through corners. It's night and day.
Plus the B8s have a lifetime warranty.
