Warrick, have you lowered your car on H&R springs?
-what suspension setup have you got?

[warrick]

no just a combination of things.this is how i want it to look.at the moment it is stock.this picture is a combo of extra weight in the car,4 wheels and tyres,sloping angle of the ground and a little
photoshop. dont think i will play with springs as i dont want to upset the great ride i have at the moment.time will tell though.i would go with eibach springs if i was to lower it.
the 19's have only made the ride marginally harder.like going from comfort setting to normal setting. dont want to upset the chassis control either,it is so good.
thanks for the interest.
cheers

well just got a reply from John at DNA. price is $630 for tune plus $40 return for the loan tool. unfortunately he doesnt take credit cards
so i will have to wait till cash funds become available. keep you updated as things progress.
cheers

Are the wheels 19''? Is the car lowered? I am looking at lowering my car for pure look. I would rather spend the $$ on a new set of wheels/tyres.
Good job Warrick. I will post some pictures soon

[warrick]

hi enixsr
yes they are 19's.in the pic it is lowered a little with photoshop plus the angle of the ground and at the time it had 4 extra wheels and tyres in the boot.
i would like to drop it a bit with some eibachs but concerned on the effect it would have on the chassis/stability control.
cheers

These photos were taken a while ago. Will give the car a thorough wash this long weekend and put some more pictures then.

Put an aftermarket LED DRL. Looks much better. Also changed steering wheel and put on footwell lights.


I guess most CC owners are executives (I'm not ) who don't do much of this forum thing and most CCs are company cars?

I saw a CC for sale on carsales with R line body kit. I already asked the owner about the kit. Hopefully he will get back to me so I can start sourcing the body kit.

[enixsr]

I got quoted $900 for set of H&R springs including wheel alignment. Will drop about 30mm. It will work with DCC. Still tossing up whether should spend the money on lowering.....but I hate the stock height...

[warrick]

i agree about the stock height being too high.i am getting used to it though.found these on ebay for about $500 delivered but by the time you have them fitted i guess would not be much cheaper.

i am retired so no executive here.with the second hand price being so reasonable i am still surprised at the small number,especially v6, around.i think that as VW dont advertise them doesnt help either.
cheers

[warrick]

put a second shopping bag hook in the boot and gave it a wash today.
nothing too exciting.
cheers
warrick

enixsr: yours is coming along nicely.wouldnt mind doing the footwell lights,the mind is willing but the body will not co-operate

[dunners]

I was wondering guys i'f yous have a rattle/vibration from the dash just below the speedo.
I have the brushed aluminium trim and directly behind the steering wheel it vibrates.
The sound never really bothered me at first but now i've noticed it its so frustrating.
Any ideas on how to fix it..?

[warrick]

hi dunners
no noise here.maybe the double sided tape,if thats how its attached,has let go? can you lift the trim at all? if you can maybe see if you can push a bit of double sided tape under it.i use tarzans grip double sided tape for lots of things around the place.can get it from bunnings supposed to be able to support up to 100kg from memory.other than that sorry cant really offer any other suggestions.good luck
cheers
