H&R Springs on my VW MK7 GTI (First Drive)

[@drewsilinski875]

Love the videos man, looking at getting a 2017 GTI SE here shortly and your channel helped with the decision making process. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@JR14Channel]

Thank you bro for the support and I'm glad that my videos are helping you make your decision on getting MK7. Do it you won't regret it at all!!!!

[@sightaggression86]

7 hours for a DIY is pretty normal. It's not an easy job. I'm glad you're liking them. I just got VWR springs in mine a couple weeks ago and I'm loving them too. Massive difference.

[@tyranelewis7763]

Awesome review.. Thanks again for your time to share your hard work. I will get thos springs for Wade MK7.5

[@MarkCalica]

Got the same springs... like it so far. When the stock shocks crap out, I’ll upgrade to bilstein b8 or koni fsd

[@rookietoprobuildz]

Years ago I did Eibach Sportline springs with matching struts on my EK Sedan. This time around, I want to go coil-overs. I agree with you on a daily though.

[@JR14Channel]

Rookie To Pro yea coilovers are pretty good to but depending on where you live, they can really beat you up.

[@Tact-Mack0397]

Love the videos bro!!!!! Keep it up really appreciate watching someone with a gti

[@JR14Channel]

Thank you for the support bro!!!!

[@scottroberts5529]

Wait until u do the rear sways that also makes a huge difference in turning in's on corners

[@Rali272]

I'm doing H&R OE Springs instead on my R-Line Passat. Sports a little too low for a car that size. I want that subtle drop and slight improvement in handling. Might do sway bars too. VW suspensions are not as soft as in other manufacturers. Edit: I'm on exit 15 on the palisades. Watch out for the pork.

[@SLIPKNOTmaggot262]

Great review! I recommend upgrading to the 034 sway bar at some point. I have one paired with stock suspension and it improved cornering greatly

[@JR14Channel]

CryptiicFrost thank you bro I appreciate it!! I know already that I would have to do the rear sway bar upgrade mod sooner than later. Project MK7 handles well now but it could definitely be better with that mod.

[@Fonzizzz]

Hey love the video, on the H&r website they don’t have super sport springs, only the H&r sport springs. And in the video you also state the drop is 1.3” which is just the sport springs

[@faded_mbs593]

Just picked up a '16 gti Autobahn pp. With 16k miles for 22,300

[@JR14Channel]

Faded _MBS congratulations I love this mk7 platform. Have fun with it do you plan to mod it?

[@burtonboarder503]

Just pick up the same car in Tornado Red for almost exactly the same price a month ago, went Unitronic Stage 1+ today.

[@faded_mbs593]

JR14 plant to go apr stage 2 IE intercooler cts intake and dp

[@JR14Channel]

dope man that should put down some serious power and produce some serious numbers!!!

[@xinglu1408]

congrats bro!!

[@craponAsPTULA]

Nice video, the car sounds great. How did the struts hold up after all this time? I love how low the super sports are but I'm worried about breaking the stock struts.

[@T3LF]

Last week i´ve tested my GTI in a 400km trip, i didn´t like the roll feeling with the stock springs in the curves, i´ll install some sport springs Eibach or H&R and i hope to reduce this rolling with that.

[@taylorshen7394]

Thanks for this great review! I will now be buying them for my GTI. I was wondering if it came with the buffer? Thanks

[@JR14Channel]

Awesome and thank you!!!!

[@shark_actual]

Hah, I drive the Bear Mountain every day to and from work. Great roads around there :)

[@JR14Channel]

lol yea dude the roads there are absolutely amazing!!!! Going back for a POV drive experience every soon!

[@wanabtkd]

Hey man any rubbing with the with these spring and what Cobb tune are you running?

[@kiergumiran9969]

Did you need to do a stance? Was the tire hitting the fender at all after installing the super sport h&r springs? Cause im about to install the same springs on my mk6 GLI

[@JR14Channel]

Not at all it was bad at all. The car for sure was definitely lower. However, there is absolutely no rubbing at all so you should be good with no issues!

[@funwheels8619]

Hey! Jr14 love your videos man I learn I lot from you thank you for sharing. I'm always excited driving My autobahn 2018 gti.

[@JR14Channel]

Awesome!!!! Im glad that i can teach you new things about the MK7 platform!!! This is what inspires me to continue with this channel!!! But I'm not done yet!!! you have to stay tuned!!!!

[@delanobeek]

Fun Wheels Where did u purchase ur 18? I'm bout to hop into a 18 SE next week. Dark Iron blue metallic, 6 speed , sunroof w/ cloth seats. What color did u get?

[@funwheels8619]

beek. inc hey man thanks for watching my sluppy video lol I got the pearl black metallic colour, I'll be putting more videos in the future so stay tune! And congrats to you, you will not regret it.

[@funwheels8619]

beek. inc yes I did purchase my gti on Oct. 29 of 2017

[@delanobeek]

Fun Wheels u purchased an 18 back in October? I thought they just hit the lots.

[@GEbabakaa]

How much spring u lowred sir? 1.3? How much In MM?

[@paleteriaelparaiso]

What's good man! I'm about to cop these springs also, but wanted to ask if you had to adjust your camber after installing and if you had to do an alignment also. thanks! Love your videos

[@anooshmokhtarian2036]

Oh man engine sound is amazing! It truly is intoxicating! I am considering buying a 2015 or 16 GTI! Do you recommend buying low milage certified pre owned!?

[@JR14Channel]

Absolutely I would totally recommend doing that!!! Just look at the history of the vehicle before purchasing it. But, if its certified Pre Owned at a VW Dealership then they would offer you warranty on it so you shouldn't have any issues

[@hello-u2w]

do you run winter tires on your GTI? I just bought a 2019. I'm a little bit north of you in Ontario (near Toronto)

[@ghazibagazi9687]

Sir., I have Renault Fluence 2014 What do you think will be best for my car H&R or Eibach howver H&R drop front and rear both are 35mm while Eibach drop front 30mm / rear 25mm

[@samiginonacerdepaoli2413]

ive always wanted a GTI but scared of reliability.....any suggestion o the modt reliable year GTI? planning to keep it for a while.

[@JR14Channel]

I can tell you that I have 68,00 miles on my GTI currently and I have had no issues with my car. Absolutely feels fantastic in everyday possible! Stay tuned to the channel because I will be posting a video of the reliability of the car then! you will be happy trust me!

[@TheMlvswoll]

Sami, buy one and enjoy it. This is my second GTI both were exceptionally reliable. My other recent vehicles were three different bmws. They are much more upkeep than the VW thus far.

[@eRa-jpt]

at the time you recorded the video, what exhaust did you had? you got manual gear and those backfire are not normal? that is why i ask, want the same ;)

[@delanobeek]

JR, I need some local shops here in queens that can install coilovers on a 18 gti without charging an arm and a leg. Plz state prices if u know any.

[@99SVTBolt]

beek. inc www.tyrolsport.com/

[@brandonmartinez1662]

would you suggest the .75 or 1.3 inch drop for the h&r springs?

[@JR14Channel]

Yes I do totally recommend them for a couple of reasons. One being that it’s still provides a great ride and it doesn’t blow out your shocks!!

[@kayceeare393]

Do you think these are a better spring than VWR?

[@MKGti-xz4ve]

Do you have pop and crackle tune? I know ur map stage 2

[@Bawla187]

MK7 Gti201 yeah, sounds like he got the pops added🤔 on the fly by. Holding out on us, lol.

[@JR14Channel]

Haha I do more to come on that in a future video so stay tuned!!!!!

[@ralleca15]

did you need a wheel alignment after install?

[@JR14Channel]

john ralleca yes you do I did get an alignment I’ll mention more about that in my next video. Stay tuned

[@ralleca15]

alright about to install mine. are you plan on running spacers as well?

[@samyboyturbo]

Do it take time before the car lowered? Because i just installed this springs but the car look stock height

[@georgearway33]

Did your car ever settle down like you wanted?

[@Bawla187]

Wow 70 miles a day. Ever think about getting a second beater car just to drive back and forth to/from work?

[@JR14Channel]

I would like to like a MK3 Jetta VR6 or something but, sadly I don't have the space for another vehicle!!!

[@Obe2k_]

So how much did the car get lowered? Love the videos bro!

[@JR14Channel]

Hey Anthony. To answer your questions it seems like it lowered the car around 1.3 to 1.5 inches all the way around which is a nice drop and to this day, I still have no complaints.

[@JR14Channel]

If you are looking forward to these springs to purchase for your MK7, here is the link of where you can get them for your GTI MK7. Link: www.ecstuning.com/b-h-and-r-parts/sport-spring-set/54787~hr/?ranMID=43304&ranEAID=%2FZAjiXMDdGA&ranSiteID=_ZAjiXMDdGA-jLfROAfvZv9QZr_b_YG38g&JR14&

[@solobellimino2356]

does your car have the performance package? if not, do you plan on upgrading the sway bar?

[@JR14Channel]

Solo Bellimino my MK7 does have the performance pack included but I’m going to add the upgraded rear sway bar in the near future

[@solobellimino2356]

+JR14 if the part # of your stock rear swaybar is 5Q0511305BA, I wouldn't mind taking it off your hands. if price is reasonable of course.

[@emmanuelgeorge7199]

Hello. Is your clutch pedal also a bit squeaky or is it the dump valve fooling me to think that

[@JR14Channel]

Emmanuel George oh no lol that me my boot squeaking against the rubber floor mat

[@emmanuelgeorge7199]

JR14 oh my bad lol. I have a Vw polo. The pedal squeals when engine is warmed up. Will try and fix it

[@shatoriya1]

How many miles do you have on your car

[@JR14Channel]

Cowboys 4 Life 33k and still kicking stay tune because I will come out with more content regarding the reliability up to 30k miles!!

[@siriusb73]

Do you have spacers installed?

[@JR14Channel]

No because Im going to be putting wheels on in the spring!!!

[@ryank6048]

Does your car have the performance pack with the DCC system?

[@JR14Channel]

Ryan K604 no i don’t have DCC. That’s why I went with the GTI SE trim because it’s easier to work on. I believe that with the DCC there is some coding that has to be done when altering the suspension.

[@alexisgueits7684]

Do you have DCC on your car?

[@JR14Channel]

Hey Alexis. No I have the SE trim which comes with conventional shocks and springs with fixed damping and spring rates. I believe the Autobahn only comes with DCC.

[@alexisgueits7684]

JR14 I have the SE manual as well but mine has DCC... actually is really good! but of course I want it lower...

[@99SVTBolt]

Alexis Gueits if you have DCC, you should look into the MSS springs. excelerateperformance.com/mss-kits-north-america/shop/volkswagen

[@dmirijm4800]

Dawg rev match

[@hllboi817]

Looks like harriman lol
