Sorry don't have one at the moment. But the car drives much flatter than before with no really noticeable deterioration in ride quality(on 19" Santiagos).
Old, but a serial modder!

sorry I have the vwr springs fitted and it has not voided the warranty.

Cut and paste from the VWR website (faq page)...

Is manufacturer’s warranty affected?

Yes, for those aspects of the engine and drivetrain that the manufacturer can prove were affected by any upgrade, any warranty claim will be rejected. All other aspects of the vehicle’s warranty should remain unaffected. Any parts from our range that are faulty or incorrectly installed will be replaced by us. Please note that this range of parts is intended for use within the United Kingdom, if you intend to use the car elsewhere it is your responsibility to establish the situation with regard to your manufacturer/other warranty.

So your warranty IS affected even by VWRs own info. Your dealer may be one that honours warranty work on VWR modded parts but I wouldn't want to try and claim on (for instance) a faulty damper.

Yeah the dealer may say whatever he likes but when they go to click the reclaim warranty work button, Germany will give them the V's. Remember that the vwr. Cup is just an English thing, why should they care or honour anything that comes out of it. Theyre all running millteks too, is someone going to tell me that's covered also? Sorry to put a downer on things but warranty is like insurance, if they can get away with not paying they will do
