              Well it was a bit oversteery yesterday! haha
              When I threw it in and powered on it threw the back out twice!!!
              But there is no understeer hehe
              She is very neutral in the dry as i found out today. I think the new polyurethane front control arm bushings are helping with that as well
              I need to get the toe angel on the rear wheels fixed with new adjustable rear lower control arms as well which might help increase grip at the rear end

                Have you chosen/purchased your new adjustable rear lower control arms? If not, I may be able to assist.
                Nothing to see here...

                  No I haven't purchased them yet. I have only got the current Gruvenparts ones in the top position.
                  Please help me! haha

                    Good luck Jed. Maybe your search will come to a close. Thinking going to have to get some quotes for my forge arms.

                      Thanks Matt,
                      Yeah i had a look at them on Awesome GTI and they're a fair bit more expensive than Gruvenparts ones :S
                      I hope you can get them a bit cheaper!

                          Amazing! Simply phenomenal how they've changed the dynamics of the car
                          They've really livened her up and the polyurethane front control arm bushings have helped with steering feel and front end response as well I think.

                          • T'was my day off today, so I drove my MK4 to the shops and back, then cleaned her and removed the GOLF badge on the back left so that it only reads GTI on the right, which I had been wanting to do for ages but had never gotten around to ... Can still slightly see where the badge used to be, but nothing that a little cut & polish won't fix.

                              I've been wanting to remove both the golf and gti rear badges off mine for a cleaner look. I've had the front gti badge off for a while now.
