Wheel spin followed by a bang?

[Tigger]

I now have the VWR springs and the supaloy control arms which have more caster
These seem to have eliminated the axle tramp (more aggressive testing pending)

Hey Martin,

where did you get these springs supplied and fitted?

Thanks

[Martin]

I got the work done at BWA Auto's in Seven hills - APR Agent
They are porche/VW focused shop - lot's of history and experience
They don't get to see most of their customers, the cars arrive on a truck
First time I went there there was a old Octavia having the brakes worked on - all four corners
And while I was there, three trucks turned up with Porche's to be worked on (2 street machines and 1 racer)

If you have the time and a few tools you can eibach springs from UK (direct or via ebay)
and fit them yourself and save a lot of money (VMR stuff is expensive)
I was having a lot of work done so I got them to do it all

I will also say that I am now used to the firmer ride (initially it shocked me)
It's just below the comfort level I prefer but feels great when you push it
Have to be careful coming out of driveways - the tow bar smashes the ground more often now

I would put a higher priority on the supaloy control arms - thay have made a significant improvement

[Martin]

So just for clarification, the supaloy control arms significantly reduce axle tramp and improve traction?

The supaloy control arms totally eliminate axle tramp but I would not say they improve traction
If you give it too much on launch the wheels will easily and freely spin - need more throttle control and restraint
The initial turn in is more precise and quicker (some improved feel until the power steering kicks in)
The high speed (+180kmph) stability is also improved

In theory only, of course....

Absolutely - that's just what was written on the packaging

[zei20t]

well, not in theory. could easily be tested legally on a track day or a private road

[Martin]

Dam right - it will be out on the track this year for sure
