BBS CR? You sure, can't find them anywhere.

Anyway, assuming the picture works (can't tell as I'm at work), I'll roll out my stock BBS SR photo!

Yeah photo works ! Looks great are they 18?  Typo error it's the SR that I ment to put . The MK7 looks ace sat on those wheels have you lowered the car or is it just the rims that give it that impression.

They suit the car perfectly, what's the ride like vs standard on the sportlines? Do you have DCC?

The ride is definitely harder than standard but I don't think it's too bad - however ride quality is something that's subjective so others might think it's too harsh. No DCC - I don't think you can go as low as this with DCC and not risk damaging a very expensive damper.

Apparently (although I've never tried them) Eibach do a 'pro kit' with less lowering on the front (I think it's a level amount front/rear) which has a little more comfort but I liked the slight 'rake' the sportlines give.

Just had a look on the wheelbasealloys.com for the BBS SR and they say that it doesn't fit the mk7 Golf . But I've seen quite a few pictures for them fitted to the Mk7 . Do you need any adapter to make them fit ?

On that site, when you select make model year it says they do fit...
