VW racing lowering springs
« on: June 19, 2014, 05:50:49 pm »
Whats the story about VWR? are they actually linked to VW?
They don't seem to have been active on here since 2009.....
Are these springs any good? hoping they would give a gentler ride than H&R etc, going max low wouldn't be my main aim over comfort.

A lot of vwr's stuff is just other companies stuff re branded or had vwr sprayed on them, so you end up paying a premium for them. The exhaust is miltek, think the CAI kit is an ITG or evoms etc, so wouldn't surprise me if the springs are re branded.

Never had any issues on the R, nice drop, firmed up the ride and doesn't effect the DCC  :happy2:
