Added H&R Sport Springs to my 2015 MK7 GSW. All fender to ground numbers were roughly 27.5" before the install. Front is now 25.75 and rear is 26.5" Subtle rake. Very happy with the results!

Ebay listing from United Auto or UAP, about $300 a wheel with "free" shipping. Tires from TireRack, mounted and balanced at my local Discount Tire. H&Rs from the Rack also, about $220, with install and alignment at dealer. Next up may be the Golf body kit now that H&R has included it on a project vehicle that's featured by VWVortex as of today.Looks great. Where did you get the VMRs from? Did they install the tires for you as well?
Are those gti wheels?Painted calipers red.

WHat does the Malone tune do? That's awesome! Something to look forward to with my golf.Stage II Malone tune on my 2015 Sportwagen DSG at PD Autowerks in Winchester, VA. Torque is phenomenal! Next up, KW variant 1 coil overs with 18" Enkei RPF1's (only 16.9lbs. ea..) with Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS - Low Rolling Resistance tires at (25lbs. ea..) My gas mileage should increase by at least another 5-10% with this wheel and tire combo in conjunction with the Malone tune.

Did you have to drill into the rack, to add the fairing?Installed my factory rack and added a Thule fairing. No wind noise at all!

5-10mins of peeling off the dip. I actually did the front emblem twice. Sprayed the dip on too thick the first time. Didn't like the result.How much work is it to remove the Plastidip, if you wanted to go back to stock?
Your TDI letters are crooked. :-\Added black emblems to rear hatch and Germany emblem.

Scan gauge. I use it to monitor when a regen is occurring so I don't shut down.What's that ChimneyJim?
The last time I changed emblems (Mk4 - "Jetta" became "Bora"), they were set up pre-aligned on the adhesive -- you peeled one side to expose the two-sided tape, but the "outside" was held by clear mac-tac type stuff. You aligned them how you wanted, ensured the two-sided tape was firmly adhered, then peeled off the mac-tac.Next time I'll let you do it for me.
Could you explain this in layman's terms?Scan gauge. I use it to monitor when a regen is occurring so I don't shut down.
Sure. Scan gauge is an OBD reader that you plug into the port on your car. It can read many parameters and you can add custom ones. I use it to monitor Coolant Temp, Exhaust Gas Temp, DPF filter temp and Boost. If you've ever shut your car off and the fan kept running for upwards of 10 minutes you interrupted a Regeneration cycle of the DPF. using this gauge I can check EGT and DPF temp before shutdown. If in a cycle they will be up 1100-1200 degrees. At that point I can leave it run until it finishes.Could you explain this in layman's terms?
