Lol there's nothing wrong with the akras, it's a great exhaust. ConR was just being sarcastic.

it was 6:30 in the morning when I looked at it... give me a break

[ConR]

No no. I still stand by my comment. No one else should get an Akra.

Let me test it out first. You know quality control. I wouldn't want anyone wasting their money on it. I'll get back to you on how it runs in, let's say, a couple years?

A couple of iPhone shots of AFTER the Eibach springs are fitted from when I got my car home yesterday afternoon.
I will try to get some better ones with a proper camera over the weekend... The end result is 15mm drop in the front and 10mm at the rear.
Depending on the angle it can look more... or look standard and it has more to do with the offset on the wheels than with actual height.
Aftermarket wheels with a smaller offset has the tyre filling the guard more and as such it all looks lower.




I have to say that the major difference is in the ride quality and handling....
On the OEM springs I was running most of the time on comfort as Sport was too harsh on bumps etc... and Normal was not subtle enough....
Now in Sport there is much more initial compliance when there is a bump or dip in the road... the Eibachs seem to be allowing the shocks to do their job better... and very little body roll... so far I am more than happy.

It looks like the rears arent seated properly Andy

Looks good

If you are going for new rims/tyres, you could fill out the guards by going a 35 profile tyre (closing the gap a bit). It will change the speedo by about 2km's at 100k/h.

Correctly so...I stand corrected

Ha ozr!

Well I just ordered these...
Buy carbon fiber side mirror, side mirror cover for PASSAT, CC side mirror cover, CARBON FIBER SIDE MIRROR COVER FOR PASSAT CC at Aliexpress.com

The Passat CC are identical to the Scirocco... once they turn up I will post up some pics.
So much for NOT buying anything else for the car...lol hmmm what next???

this one sounds great!
Bull X Exhaust Scirocco R - YouTube

[ozr]

They look like good quality...looks like originals as the base.

That is the cheapest way for them to do them... so not "true CF" as in light weight and strong but that is not important...
They tell me they will be shipped today so depending on shipping time they might be here soon. Hopefully when I get back from a work trip to Indonesia.

You caved! I knew it!

Mirrors look like a good option, though need to see them fitted before I can comment properly

[Andych]

Hmmm anyone wanting the Vortex (Cup) rear spoiler???

Buy spoiler, scirocco spoiler, scirocco spoiler, FRP scirocco spoiler at Aliexpress.com
or you could go Carbon Fibre....

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/100672/203042030-535729549/carbon-fiber-roof-spoiler-for-Scirocco.html

Not too shabby at $173 US delivered for the Fibreglass one and $352 for the CF... Either would look good on a little RB Rocco
