I agree madstaff, it does seem weird, but have read on multiple forums that the high nitrogen gas pressure in B6 acts as a slight lifting force increasing spring rate, and in turn marginally raises the ride height due the spring not fully settling when static, I think I have explained the gist of it. Whether its true or not its seems all over the net for B6 dampers, (it may apply to others).

@ Exonian, one brand I can't see in your list of suspension brands is KW? I've never tried them, but they now seem to do a road version coilover as well as the performance coilover, Comfort V2 and standard V2.

Hey there, I have a problem with a mk6 Golf clutch…
The clutch pedal has gone to the floor, and will not come back up, unless pulled up by hand.
I suspect the hydraulics to be at fault, however how to tell whether it is the master cylinder or the slave cylinder?
If I open the bleed nipple on the slave cylinder, and get someone to pump the clutch pedal manually by hand, plenty of fluid shoots out… this would suggest the master cylinder is working..
However today I have now removed the slave cylinder, it all looks intact, the rod has plenty spring in it, and I can’t find any leaks anywhere…
Oh and the clutch and flywheel were replaced 18 months ago…
So I’m a bit stumped… can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks in advance!

Its surprising how many options are available, but when you boil it down it seems like almost no options at all.

Euromillions?  Manthey Porsche for a full package me thinks 

That was a really good read Paul70  thanks for taking the time to write up your impressions and thoughts now you’ve fully familiarised yourself with the 8R.

My lasting memories of my (much missed) Ed40 are that lightness and nimble feel. The TCR that followed it felt more hunkered down and brawny for some reason despite the chassis being very similar and indeed further developed. Featherweight vs middleweight in feel.

My 8R is on 4K in 5 months but most of the time it’s just pootling around locally, gearbox in D or E.
I find the Race mode settings a bit too jerky and the Soundaktor horrid so almost never use that setting, but the car seems to punch well above its weight in that mode performance wise. Very aggressive! I’m a bit old and spindly for all that now so tend never to hit the R button.
Mine lacks the Special mode as I don’t have either Performance Pack or DCC. Both would be wasted on me so weren’t specced. 
I don’t find the 8R any less agile than the mk8 Clubby to be honest which would have surprised me had I not seen so many road tests. The drive mode settings on the R do seem more differentiated than the Clubsport.
The Clubsport had maybe a bit more finesse where the R can be a bit ‘two pints of Stella and pick a fight’ in anything other than the Comfort/Eco setting.

I was tempted to refresh the suspension on my ED40 which runs passive suspension. My conclusion (but did not act on it) was to go for the B6 dampers, even if they raised the ride height a few mm. Volkswizard did a install drive video around 4 months ago which is worth watching.
