With the Koni shocks you mean? I contacted Koni and they will not recommend pairing the FSD with "race" springs such as VWR. They said to pair it with stock or something "mild" such as Eibach pro or "similar".

Yes I meant the Koni shocks, sorry. Guess I'll go VWR for a bit then sell them down the road. Is the difference night and day in terms of comfort?

In terms of comfort - I would say yes. My wife seems to agree also. I wouldn't expect an SUV ride but for a lowered car, it's damn great.

So here's the brake calipers and a shot of the wheels on my car - which now looks like most of the stock cars with VWR springs haha. The "imperfections" in the powder coating near the top happened during the test fit - luckily you can't really see it once the pad pins are in. The last shot it at my friends euro-scrapyard when we took the calipers off the Boxster S using a forklift haha.

Picked it up after a month of being under repair. I hit a rock on April 20, following a line of CUVs that all made it over the thing, and their body / shado obscured it until it was too late. I hit the rock at about 35 km/h. Fortunately, mostly mechanical bits. The car was only a month old.:(

That bugger of a rock! It's about the size of a nerf football.

After a short limp, my poor baby bled out while waiting for a tow. Yup, cracked the plastic oil pan!

The only body damage - but it required replacement of the front clip. Shop did a great job.

What oil pan did you install? There are metal ones on market.

Just bought it, receive it next week. Pearl White TSI w/ Shetland Interior. All I need is a vinyl wrap for the roof and I'll be happy ... for now.
