What have you done to your CC Today?

dude thats wicked sick . cheers for the info

il do that for the rear 2 tyres ; theyre mismatching , and this is a perfect excuse to get them changed [emoji23] would 235 30 be ok for a 20' rim tho ? or would 235 35 be safer ?

No probs man.

Don't quote me on this- but with previous AWD cars of other makes I've had in the past they generally recommend the tyre size to be the same or within a certain acceptable range all around otherwise it could cause wear or damage to certain components of the AWD system.

This was the case with a Mitsubishi GTO I had, people do run a staggered setup but the circumference of the tyre and wheel has to be within a specific range or the centre differential/VCU dies.

I'm not sure if the VW Haldex system is picky with sizes in the same case however

I think you may have to go a 30 profile on the 20" wheels to get some extra clearance, let us know if it alters the bumpiness of the ride by much if you go down the path lol

car got lowered today ! got the tyres changed to 235 35 just before i got it lowered . thank god i did that + roll the guards on the weekend , because the rears scrub over bumps nonetheless ! driver rear guard has had some paint cracking on the rear lip s p ewwinnn .

on a side note tho - i am absolutely lovin the look ! rear fitment is TIGHT ! need some camber dialed in so that the guard doesnt keep scrubbing the tyre , but apparentally its hard to get to the camber adjustor on 4motion sedans .. anybody have recommendations for any specialists in sydney ?

pics below - il try do a before and after a bit later !

That looks fantastic. Need to install my H&R springs after getting them nearly a year ago.

Quick question... I'm contemplating getting lowered springs but atm im loving the clearance I have over the concrete blocks in car parks. For those cc owners with lowered cars will the sensors pick up the blocks so you don't scrape or do they just miss them??

Looks great buddy, a fair bit lower then the eibach's I have. What's the ride like?

[esskayy]

thanks ryan yeh , they're a 30mm drop f+r so 5mm lower than the eibachs !

surprisingly drives reallly confortably .. scrubs a bit at the back but im running -3 camber so that helps heaps . spring rate is quite firm too , i put the dcc on sport and it drives extremely well

do you know if the front caster is adjustable ? wheel alignment place i went to said thats the one thing they couldnt adjust ..

Awesome stuff mate, 20's look good on the cc also.

Not sure about the front caster, I just take it to this one place near me which is the only place I know of that knows what they are doing with wheel alignments. Drive in and drive out and it's all good lol

[esskayy]

ahh spewin im in sydney ! all good , it drives well so im happy .

put some 5mm spacers on the front too .. offset on the rims is +29 , + the 5mm spacers .. so +24 ? LOL

Wow crazy offset lol, most would say it's not possible but there you go

Any more rubbing?

Hi all, would like to know if there is an LED replacement to the rear lights on a 2012 CC? I've had no luck.

Thanks.

Have not seen one, have some of your led's died?

I think VW's thinking would be to replace the whole light
