    I have used the same person for a Panther Black kit for my Mondeo and the match was perfect...they do all the VW colours and it arrived in 1 week from the UK...
    Nice find! Ordered me one as well

    You may of seen that I'm not a fan of the 'unfinished' interior in the R with open cupholders and the open area in front of the gear selector where the 12 volt connection is.

    The parts to do this are available in the UK - the open area in the front of the console just needs to be built with a smokers pack option (not a smoker though)

    I've asked the dealer this morning to see if I can get these two customisations done during the build rather than dismantling the console on arrival. I don't have a build date yet but as far as I can see the car won't be built until April (week 12 or so) as it is not due to land to June 14th (week 24).

    I'm not expecting a yes but nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say.

    While doing a search for lowered springs I can across Volkswagen Racing UK.
    There is plenty of gear for the Scirocco from lowered springs to Big Brake kits....
    Rennenhaus in NSW are listed as the distributor... not sure if they stock anything but might be worth contacting if you find anything on their site that takes your fancy...

    They certainly have a good Rep... I might have to enquire about those springs... I think the 20 mm drop will be just about right.

    Are you worried about the early wear of the dampers???

    Dampers are generally replaced every 100k km's. So even with the car lowered you wouldnt have to touch them (if they perished) for at least 3 years, which is going to be outside your warranty period anyway.

    My H&R lowered springs should be arrive on monday. If I have enough time on the following weekend, ill pop them in and take some pics.

    Nope... only the visual aspects of the ride height... ACC only interacts with the valving on the dampers as well as steering load (Sports mode), not on the relative piston position so in general terms lowering 20 mm or 35 mm (H&R) should not have any effect on the damper life.
    There will still be plenty of wheel travel so as long as you are not bottoming out all the time there will be no worries.
    I believe they are made for Volkswagen Racing by Eibach too so all in all they are a good product... depending on price of course.

    PS How much were the H&R's Bain?

    £196.69 ($292.50) delivered to my door using UPS shipping. All was done through Paypal and the response times were fantastic! Ordered and shipped within a day.

    According to UPS, my springs are currently in Koeln, Germany (originating out of the UK)

    Thought id start out with a small purchase from the site before making a larger purchase down the track (KW DCC Coilovers) and possibly losing my money.
