So just to confirm, these springs can be installed and ready to go without the need for the software?
What is the price of the springs?
Also, do you ship to Australia?
Yes, can be used with standard QV suspension software and I do ship to Australia. Final cost will be available on-line in about a week or so.


Thanks. Email me with further questions.

Ciao

Is it recommended to fit spacers to these springs or go without them? If so, what sizes would be best suited for front and back?
Spacers to the springs? Or are we talking wheel spacers? Either way no spacers necessary.

Apologies. I meant wheel spacers. But good to know, cheers. I think the 10mm drop will hit the sweet spot by giving it a nice look while still being functional :D
No worries. on a QV running 5mm spacers is fine. Some run wider but personally I only have 5mm on all the way around, that's all I need.

9.5mm ;) haha Might settle to 10mm but only time will tell. Exactly, nice look, functional and properly balanced.

ST springs are too low in front as mentioned and really the rates too soft. When I had ST springs on front, I hit everything, it was bouncy and it did not look correct, the wheel sitting too high in the wheel well throw off the cars design in my opinion. Some people love them and that is fine but I wanted something much better. Also there is a video out there stating ST did all this R&D on their springs, and ran testing on the NRing is bogus. Highly highly unlikely. They just used a stock spring as a base, did some math and threw them on a car, it worked for them and they threw them on the market there was no real R&D done. KW/St is notorious for hit and miss products. The products they spent time on work well and it's clear the vehicles they spent no time on. At first glance the ST springs look really good but if you look harder and longer the car sits too low in front. ST are fine and do well for the most part, they work but again I wanted to build a better spring and so I did.

I have to say that you NAILED the ride height. Now develop these for the non-adaptive suspension 2.0 Q4 / Q2. What shocks to use though? :D

Thanks. I will see if we can adjust the 2.0L springs. Use the factory shocks. ;) If Koni made something I'd say use that.
 
In production. Available to order now.

Some Alfissimo script being tested.

I was gonna order theses until I saw the script.
In all seriousness would love to order them but any lower and I’ll have problems going down my alley getting into garage. Great product. Shame I live in a shithole city.

I was poking around and realized there are actual coil spring shims out there (summit, etc.), not just those rubber spacers that add spring rate. I would think that an 1/8" shim under the spring could get the ride height up a hair and not be a sketchy setup.

I think springs spacers are sketchy. ;) 1/8" spacer will not increase spring rate. It's just a band-aid fix imo. My bet is you see no real change with a 1/8" spacer. Best to wait for my springs and do it right. ;)
