had these for a year and since I read that so many C55 owners have problems with coilovers I thought I'd share my knowledge.....

the only problem KW has is they have longer springs compared to Billstein or H&R so what I did was ordered a set of front H&R coilover springs from my buddy out of Germany and had them powder coated KW yellow,the lowest you can run them on stock wheels without any sort of spacer before springcollar touched was 12 spin up from bottom which equaled tucked front tread on a 225/40/18 OEM Pirelli

heres pics of my Dunlop SportMaxx 215/35/19 at the same drop how well it tucks and I still have a inch more to or 12spins to go down

damn bro your ride looks sick! What rims are these?

Miro's and Schmidts Vn's are being built as we speak,heres some pic of my VW when I was the first to rock em....Schmidt Vn Line 19x9 - 19x11






and the Golf with MAE before the refinish

What's the load rating on the 215's? I want to step down and see if I can take my perches out in my front to go a tad lower

85Y extra load

nice, looks sweet, no rub?

That's neat lookin

no rub 19x8.5 et23 215/35/19 19x9.5 et20 225/35/19

Any reason I can't cut the stock C55 springs for the same look?

Looks awesome dude.

I think you could get away w/ 225 if you just roll your fenders and use SPC bolts to straighten out your camber a bit, but tucking & stretching the 215 looks awesome.

I'm a previous VW guy so I've always had dropped stretch and dish
