Quick question and please be kind as I'm a total virgin to the "mod world"! I have a 2016 TT and want to install H&R sport springs. I know this should help handling/cornering but will it impact turn radius? Are there any else I need to know before installation?

And as a side note, I'm waiting to install these bad boys this week

The springs should not affect your turning radius. Not sure how much they will lower the car (this value is published by H&R) but you may need to take more care when entering/exiting steep driveways and other low road clearance situations like speed bumps. Many folks also add heavier anti-sway bars with springs to additionally improve handling.

H&R quotes a 1" drop. My apartment building has a steep driveway so I've had plenty of practice in that regard. Thanks for the additional info McTTRS, happy driving!

This is the amount of lowering with H&Rs on a TTRS.

Looks great GaBoYnFla!

Would anyone know if 3 wheels will fit in the trunk and 1 in the front seat? Wondering if I need to make 2 trips.

I transported the OEM wheels and tires that way except I recall easing the passenger seat all the way back after the back seats are down so as to set the 4th wheel/tire in front of the passenger seat. I used a bunch of old towels to protect all the interior contact points with the wheels/tires.

I appreciate all the help! I brought a couple towels and a bedsheet to cover up the interior.
I'll post a few pics once the new shoes are on.

Avant Garde M615, 19x8.5, bespoke level 3. Not sure on weight (not trying to take her to the track, purely for aesthetics).
Music, food, architecture...always something to do!
