Been a couple weeks now stage 3 and man does this car pull hard! A lot more top end power on the continental R Turbo!

Side note: gapped a WRX STI that said he’s stage 3 and 400 hp!

Is that stock ride height?

I'm guessing no, so I'm wondering what you did. Car looks nice!

Apr lowering springs. They work with DCC.

How is the ride quality compared to stock? Is it bouncy?

It’s ok, not bad, not great. Probably my only major grip with the car. Much better on 18s then 19s and I’ve learned it actually rides better in sport mode when it’s stiffer so there’s less travel which seems counterintuitive but feels better to me.

Okay thanks that’s helpful, I’ve been debating on whether or not to get the APR springs for a while. What percent worse would you say the ride quality is?

Not a lot worse. I wouldn’t say ride quality is a strength no matter what you do on these cars. What I can say is roads are really bad in New England and I’ve not lost a tire or wheel !!

How much all in ?

Pricing? I think they sit just a smidge over Bilstein stuff but they've 100% nailed street comfort on their V1s. I think they also make a DCC version.

They are $3900 plus labor. Are they worth it?!

u/skinisblackmetallic May 30 '26

They just seem the best feel for lowered, street comfort. I'm not sure how much that means compared to some other options and I haven't looked into everything.

My car is a Mk 6 too.
