I just had H&R race springs part# 54750-88 installed on my fast .....and let me tell you ...If you've got $500 burning a hole in your pocket .......Get these springs ////Definelty the least expensive upgrade that adds the most to the appearance of your MKV ($200 for sprins/$200-$300 for installation labor and alignment) ......Wow do they make a difference....Lowered 2" in both front and rear! PICS TO FOLLOW

Can't wait to see pics!

How does it ride now that you have the springs installed? Lowering most cars 2" without new shocks usually ends with a bumpy ride.

 

[LUKE]

Not very bumpy at all ...pics coming

 

[LUKE]

Here are the pics!

Your car looks great! Do you have any problems with your tires rubbing the fender? Did they have to cut your bump stops when they installed the springs?

 

[LUKE]

no cutting of anything ....no rubbing at all

Your CW GTI looks great lowered. So much better then the stock 4x4 look.

 

[blackgti06]

very nice how much of a difference is it on the turns and handling?

 

[rodknock]

That looks really nice I think that I have found the springs I want

Where did you pick those up at all I can find is the sport springs I found the race ones on the H&R site but there $350

 

[LUKE]

Handles great and looks even better!! The best upgrade for around $500 .......There are 2 sites you can locate these springs
WWW.PARTS4VW.COM PRICE: 199.00

I ordered mine from
WWW.OPTIONIMPORTS.COM

If you cant locate H&R part# 54750-88 at the above sites ....call them ...Cause they have them for SURE!

 

[rodknock]

Thanks!

how much ground clearance do you have now...meaning from the ground to the little black running board thing (i dont know what it is called). i think the stock look is too high

 

[blackgti06]

your better off lowering your car and inch so that you runine your car from the pot holes.

 

[rodknock]

For me lowering my car does 2 things.
1. gets ride of unsightly wheel gap (of which the A5 has plenty)
2. improves handling

and 1 inch for me isnt enough
and unless potholes have a light bar and can issue me a ticket I could care less about them

 

[blackgti06]

There are way to many potholes in NJ. It sucks even on the main highways.

 

[youpey]

i think the car needs 2 inches of lowering also

 

[dean]

No question the two inch lowering looks sick, but I'm afraid that the many areas around Dallas under construction would be too much of a beating.

The H & R sports are the perfect compromise for those of us looking for better handling, lowered stance, and decent ride. Some people have said it rides better on the sports than the OE's. One day...........

If the H&R springs are so great, why is LUKE selling his set? Hmmmmmmm.......
