My new 06 R32. Is it stock?

Hi all,

I love my new Gleaming Black beauty. Its in mint condition, and has a full VW service history, however just wondering how I can find out if its been modded in anyway. The engine looks stock, however think the ride maybe lower and firmer.

Just measured the front wheel arch (ground to top of wheel arch) = 635mm. Is this comparable to other stock setups. Thanks

Hard to say. In the states we dont have 4 door r32's. Looks kinda low to me. Did you look at the springs to see if they have writing on them? Like H&R or eibach? Im on sports and about the same height.

and congrats. great looking car!!!

If they are red they are not stock. Stock springs are black. Poss neuspeed sports or h&r race springs? Think they are both red

Hey all,

I have taken the front wheel off today and have discovered the baby has H&R Sport springs. The H&R guys in NZ have advised my springs have given me a 20mm drop.
