Marylander Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Finally got the H&R springs & struts (Touring Cup Kit) put on. The difference - both in dynamics and visually - is stunning. I couldn't be happier with the way it rides and handles now... nice and firm with very little sway in the turns and no harshness over bumps.

Sooners Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Sweet! That looks way better! I'm sure it's much more fun to drive as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Looks good! I'd love to lower my G8 more but being that it's a DD, I'd be cracking front bumpers on those nice ice turds that trucks drop on the highway in the winter... The little I did lower it made a huge difference. Now all you need is some sway bars to round it out! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny, I'm finding myself subconsciously bracing for familiar turns now, but the car stays flat. I have to unlearn those habits! Looks good!

H&R makes a lower "sport" kit, bit I didn't want to compromise the real day-to-day use of the car. (or start looking too silly -- it is, after all, still just a Jetta ) I was thinking of a bigger sway bar, but honestly now that the springs are in I don't think I need one. Looks better Handles better, win win!! Absolutely, Chris. Dare I say I'm done modding this car?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMADreamer Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 whew, I was afraid when I saw VW and dropped it was going to be one of those ridiculous drops that is all cambered out and kind of dumb looking. You did a nice job though, it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdutytd Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Now time for an exhaust/chip... looks great though and I love H&R products. I run their sport springs on my Mustang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
