Just out of curiosity sciraddo, What would you say the difference is between the H & R's and the RRM Springs? Why'd you choose those?

Both front and rear offset of + 38. Just ordered some H & R Springs for the car with a 1" drop all around, which should give a a slight negative camber. The car should sit nice once the Spring are installed.
Post some pics of your setup........

Well, I've owned 13 VW in the past and most have had H & R springs or coilovers of some sort. It's what I know and I've never had any issues with them and depending on the set up they give a relatively comfortable ride and decent handling. I don't know anything about the RRM Springs. I paid $290 for the set, shipped to my buddy's shop.

I have a front wheel drive Sport Kizashi and I didn't want a really aggressive drop and H & R makes a 1" drop all around for the FWD. For the AWD the make a 1.4" drop front and 1.3 drop at the rear or is that the other way around. H & R said they will not work on the FWD's.

Stock 18's with Falken Azenis PT-722 235/45/18 they are 60K life tires and are $168 a tire. My OE tires only lasted 12K and The alignment was bad from the factory. The dealer gave me a new alignment under warranty, But wanted to charge me $255 per tire and Suzuki wouldn't do anything to compensate me for the bad alignment. :evil: So screw Suzuki customer service. I can get these Falkens for less with over twice the warranty. :mrgreen:

I found this link really helpful, check it out. But you need to know the offset of the set of wheels on your car.

Hey Man have you tested your ride with a full trunk and passengers in the back. I like the way yours look and I wanted to make sure that it does not rub or scrap before I make the investment.
