It would be nice if there was something available for the Polo GTI to reduce axle tramp.

I apologise, I should have said, similar.Originally posted by Guy_H View Post
I will add upon inspection, there are quite big differences between the 2 approaches to the solution.
APR look to have more contact area with a lower stiffness (based on provided info) where the Neuspeed one contacts less and provides more resistance.
Even if you are unhappy with one that you buy, the other one is still less than $100 as an alternative!Last edited by mikinoz; 25-09-2007, 06:58 PM.Comment

milkinoz - no offense taken - we take a lot of time with these things, so many people buy them from OS & they are not what they expected. Fact is our Australian made ones are rebadged in the US & believe it or not have been purchased by Aussie people not knowing (importing back in an Aussie product
) !

Because it's got a transmission possibly?Originally posted by mitch_gti View Post
Do you know what they do?
Should I say that a GTI needs two more driven wheels?
Let's not start this GTI vs R crap here as well.Comment

you probly need to understand why it reduces axle tramp. my guess would be due to excessive drivetrain movement which is usually a compromise car companies make in the pursuit of comfort and refinement.
So even though the r32 may not suffer from axle tramp it still may benefit from uprated mounts?

Settle down.
All i was saying was that surely the R32 wouldnt suffer from tramping.
And in regard to the turbochargers, can you imagine the noise a TT R32 would make
Jesus christ, lets all jump up and down. I would own a R32 anyday over a GTI.GTI. Leather.

I had ordered one of the 'un ozzy' ones before Andrew started this thread and installed it today.Originally posted by Guy_H View Postmilkinoz - no offense taken - we take a lot of time with these things, so many people buy them from OS & they are not what they expected.

In short it works and is an improvement.
In terms of an $180 mod (read $80 for insert and $100 for new torque wrence for installation) it has bang for buck status.
