Do VWR's still need the rear TT pads to eliminate the reverse rake?

I’m going to revive this thread because I would like this question answered, I’m not a fan of reverse rake and I’ve read somewhere on here that the manual transmission mk7’s have this issue with springs

There definitely is a noticeable difference in some of the cars with the vwr springs.

No reverse rake here. I have a MT and VWR springs with Koni Yellows.

Only saw one post in here of the Neuspeed Race springs, and no follow-up from the owner. Anyone else have experience with those?

Another before and after. 2018 1.8 Facelift Trendline with Eibach Pro-Kit springs. I've added the ECS wheel spacers (12.5 front and 17.5 mm rear) and the OEM GTI performance pack rear sway bar (21.7 mm). An impressive improvement in handling/cornering with basically the same ride comfort. My car is stage 2 Unitronic, with the Uni. DP and inlet elbow. Drop-in K&N filter. I also have the CTS engine + transmission mounts and the APR dogbone + APR insert. A great combination of power and power transfer to the ground. Of course, when combined with good tires.

You guys are making me jealous. I have been waiting to install springs, shocks and new wheels. They are summer tires, of course and it keeps dipping into the low 30s in these parts. Maybe this week.
