I actually ended up getting H&R Sport springs, specifically for our torsion beam rear end TDI's. I have wheels on the way and may get struts over the winter as well and just do all of it next Spring.
Nice. How do you like them and what are your impressions of them on the car? I'm sure they are a bit low for my taste but always like to see how things look our rides. Did you do struts as well or just on stock suspension components for now? Any pictures to share??

Looks good! I wonder how long the stock struts are going to last with the reduced height and increased spring rates. My drop will be more moderate for sure and since I do have access to all tools and lift (don't have to pay someone else) to do them, I'll slap the springs on in the spring and just see how long I can go. :-D I'm a pothole swervin fool, even on stock height and 17in wheels so that won't change and our roads, at least the ones I usually drive, aren't terrible.I did just the springs, on stock struts, it lowered it 2 inches all the way around looks excellent in my eyes, the ride it def firmer than stock but way softer than coilovers,

Just wondering how the stock struts held up over time? Ride quality still tolerable??I did just the springs, on stock struts, it lowered it 2 inches all the way around looks excellent in my eyes, the ride it def firmer than stock but way softer than coilovers,

That's interesting, I just put Vogtland sport springs and B8s on my mk6, and have recently been driving over a lot of those cutouts they make at the ends of of a new paving job before they pave it. With my old suspension they would be very jarring, but I've been really pleased how the new dampers just silently absorb the shock. I usually slow down to about 35-40 mph before hitting the lip though. If it's a really deep one I'll slow down substantially more. My old shocks and struts were basically non functional, so there's that too.
I had the same strut/spring combo, on 17" Neuspeed RSE05's. Would have been those same Motegi's if I didn't get a deal on the Neuspeeds used. I think I was running SuperPro camber plates at the time... could NOT handle the overall harshness. It was fantastic in the canyons! But LA highways were practically unbearable and that was a good amount of my driving at the time.
