Scirocco H&R issues

[JasonRaff]

Hi, I recently got my springs installed on Friday, they are 35mm H&R springs.
The back is perfectly lowered but the front is not what level I wanted, there is still a massive arch gap.
I've driven a 100 miles since it installed and it still hasn't settled the way I want it to, what should I do now? Thanks

If you've driven 100 miles since having the springs fitted then they will have settled by now and that's their final ride height, so not really anything you can do.

It's maybe worth double checking the fitment is correct for your weight of car. There are 2 front spring fitments;
1. Up to 1,020kg
2. 1,021and above.

It shojld also be noted that the drop quoted by H&R is "up to"

They are probably for a Diesel engine. Check the part numbers to confirm

I read a few reviews about these springs and there was quite a few people who bought these that complained about height issues saying the car had only dropped 20mm instead of 35mm. I went for eibach 55mm and she sits just perfect. I know h&r are a good quality manufacturer but i just went with the reviews and pleased i did.

I doubt its a true 55mm drop you have. If it is you'd scrape loads.

Main thing is your happy with it

No its dropped 46mm in total. And still scrapes on front bumper as ive got a front bumper spoiler on.

It’s been a few weeks and it’s dropped perfectly now, thanks for the replies !
