Ok, so I got my suspension intall done yesterday...

The ride looks stock

H&R is supposed to lower 1.3" but I still have a 3 finger gap on the front wheel...I'm really not to happy 'bout this.

The ride however is 100% sportier

Dont Bilstiens actually raise the car a little?

NO bilstein sports are shorter to accomodate the shorter springs.

my kit on my VW settled ALOT, new springs almost always need to settle......

Yes, bilstien shocks will raise the car untill they settle. So just wait a couple of weeks and you will see the difference.
