Hi, I have a 6R (2010) GTI until my arthritis in neck got worse I could handle the "jarring" stock suspension . I am looking to make it a more comfortable less jarring ride is this possible on the GTI, I dont mind lowering it a BIT and happy with handling as is, just need it to be less jarring. I live in Northern Rivers NSW so roads are pretty crappy but hope to move to Sunshine coast in about a year where the roads are a bit better . My other thoughts were to wait till 2015 and see if the next model has adaptive suspension which i am not sure of (if adaptive suspension makes it softer I am also not sure?)that`s if I can afford the next model. Any help appreciated thanks

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Maybe have a look at Koni FSD dampers. The seem to have a very large difference between the low and high speed compression damping which should make the car less jarring without compromising performance.
I have seen a few posts where people have found them to be great for road use and not quite so brilliant on the track (which isn't a concern for the vast majority of people).Resident grumpy old fart
