Needs some bit more low

@Drax Hahah you are not the first one mentioning it to me . I am really in doubt to lower it. I would like to keep it practical. The most I am considering is -10mm with Eibach springs. I want to retain the DCC setup

[edit]
My buddy was also trying to talk me into coilovers, until he checked my car in real life and he mentioned the gap is way smaller compared to my pictures

I used to have the KW DDC Plug and Play kit, this allowed you to carry on using the Mode button and impact the suspension and there are other makes as well. But not everybody wants it lowered.

However I was a little surprised when you said your tyres are 225, my 2014 5 door has 235/35/19 as standard from the factory.

Don't do it! It's already low enough and looks really nice imo

225 is also "allowed" on this car, but 235 looks better. Also, it wasnt my choice of tyres My original Seat wheels also have 235/35/19 wrapped around them btw

@Frostybear Thanks! I feel the same

Do you happen to know what size spring is needed on the rear axle? I found Eibach springs (lineair) designed for usage with DCC

Eibach R23111

I’ve been super happy with my Pilot Sport 5s - they manage surprisingly well with 500nm through only the front wheels…

Forgot to post these, I got lucky because the fitment is perfect in my eyes

Added a 11" Android screen, because I use the MIB system purely for music (paired with an old iPhone via bluetooth). This screen will be used for navigation. I also had this setup on my CLS55 and for me, it just works

Some oil service. Tried some LiquiMoly Top Tec 4200

Don't forget to swap out this part every once in a while. I will replace this every oil change

Partnr: 06L115678C

Blue Print filter and new plug

LiquiMoly Top Tec 4200 5W30

Replaced all 4 coil packs with new coil packs from Facet. Made in Italy

I don't believe in the "tuner" coil packs to be honest

More preventative maintenance, replaced both cam magnets / actuators. They were still ok, but the new ones move way more freely!

Bought some new wheel bolts for the MM-06 wheels. Conical and 30mm of thread

Freshly washed with the new bolts
