Dont do it! Stick with eibachs, I have racingline fitted and so disappointed. Crashy and bottom out easy 😭 surprised my alloys are not cracked

I would go eibach if I could start again. I bought racingline vwr springs and they are absolutely rubbish. Yeah car looks well low. But little bumps feel like massive potholes. I am very surprised my alloys have not cracked yet!!

Was speaking in traffic? This is me anyway whoever's you were lol I was in a white golf too but tue boring white. Interesting comparison , I think most stage 1 and jb4 boxes are 0retty much same. Jb4 being cheaper tho .

Go to Marilyn's 👍🙈 Great place tho on a serious note. Full of life till midnight, lots of places to sit and drink. good food. Do some sights, been 3 times now and still not done them. 🤣

No worries , get a chance I get them looked at. Cheers 😁

Replacement set never made a show, I would like to think my car is as normal as anybody elses. I had the vwr spring installed by a good garage, had tracking done too, I have dcc, I drove my wifes gtd again last night and her car drives so much better on standard setup. I am now getting creaking from Top of the shocks when I steer left to right. Very expensive lesson I have learnt from This mod if I have to replace my dcc shocks . I am 40 years old, I am a truck driver too. i have had many lowered cars. To be fair i had cut down spax springs on my ford Orion ghia in the late 90's that felt better than this. I go over a slightly lower drain covered my shocks bottom out on my golf. How I could have a bad batch I doubt both fronts would be? Maybe one bad spring? But surely the other side would not crash. Should of gone eibachs. Never had problem with them at all in the past. But i know buying the eibachs it's going to cost me a new set of front shocks. May as well look towards some kw's. So frustrated I got to spend stage 2 money elsewhere.

I have dcc and I am now on 30k miles. There have been quite a few people say the same to be fair.

Apparently another set was sent out and signed for but they are no where to be seen?? And j have not signed for anything? But when they turn up I plan to do exactly what you said anyway. I am gutted but even my wife was shocked how bad the bump felt the other day. And over the years I have had many lowered cars, I can honestly say my nova sr that had spax on years ago felt better!! I can say that as my wife at the time had c-section with stitches and she was surprised it was painless on the way home. Gutted about the springs really. But it's going to end with a broke alloy or shock soon 😲 I have a recent set too.

Exactly how mine is, feels like it hitting bump stops. Ready bad on little bumps. Makes them feel like pot holes!

I would love big turbo revo 3 but I put myself off thinking about extra stress on the car. Would be fun tho. But they are fast at stage 1, that's a jump on it's own. Hopefully stage 2 is a little more midrange pull. And be nice to be close to 400bhp. Problem is more money I spend on this mk7 it stops me buying a mk7.5 as I would have to start again!

My next mod is a full exhaust system, but want resonated with the flaps. I want the option to change the sound still in drive modes. Non res systems sound too hollow for my liking. I want sports cat too then revo 2. Bit then I am wandering of it's worth the change as this revo stage 1 with a resonator delete sounds good and goes well. When you can reel in a 400 bhp Porsche I think the car is quick enough lol.

Shame as it looks well

I have always used eibach in the past. To me that looks ok. You can see its dropped enough to loose the arch gap a little. And your car still feels great. I will prob end up on eibach but it's going to cost me again, would of been cheaper if I picked eibach to start. But on the other hand I guess I would of been jealous of the vwr drop not knowing the eibach we the better choice. I remember reading the lad scott who's car was in the vw mag , he bought vwr and had same issue. Went eibach and the car was alot better.

After much searching for info and deciding on these over eibach that I have always had and rated highly. Vwr gave level look I wanted. I bought and had these springs fitted in Jan this year, i have dcc and 19's. They were the off green grey colour if that means anything? I dont feel any confidence in the car anymore and longer they on car they seem to feel worse. When I hit a bump in the road feels like a hole in the road. I am surprised my alloys have not cracked yet. Few week ago I hit two bumps, I went back to make sure they were not pot holes. We have all hit a pot hole but I feel these springs I am hitting the bump stops more times than I feel is normal. Like I am constantly hitting pot holes? I drove my wife's gtd yesterday and it made me feel safe going fast into the Bends. My R dont feel like that anymore. I am gutted. Wont be surprised if they kill my shocks eventually! I decided to email racingline. I got a message a month ago saying if they send me another set out would that be ok? I said that be great but I will have to pay another £200 out to have them fitted. Then what if they feel the same? I have then spent a total of £400 fitting springs. Well nothing came? So I sent a reminder email few week back. Got Reply back saying they would send some out. Well still not received any replacement springs? Just really annoyed. The car was lovely before with the dcc. And also the car sits higher on the front. I wish I went eibach. Unless I am on a smooth new road,( prob feel great on track) car dont feel great at all using day to day.

On launch it would hesitate, 2nd to 3rd was a hesitation now and again. Went back to my revo dealer who in turn made my symtoms aware on his dealer group chat. Few come back and said install stage 2 tcu tune. From what I can work out , I think some cars make too much torque that triggers odd fault to hold gearbox back? But it's been fine ever since. And also helps I only need ECU stage 2 if I go up a stage.
