    First Suspension Upgrade - Mk7 Golf R Facelift

    Just pulled the trigger on my first suspension upgrade for the Golf R. The car is driven pretty hard on track days and on the road. To flatten out the rear and reduce the understeer, I am upgrading the rear sway bar from the OEM to the SuperPro adjustable heavy duty rear sway bar.

    Next steps will be either Bilstein B6 Damptronic shocks or the Bilstein B16 Damptronic Coilovers then a tyre upgrade, most likely the Bridgestone RE71RS rubber.

    I'm planning to get this done whilst we are in lock down in Melbourne. Might as well get some benefits from lock down.

    Interested in your feedback

    nice, where did you get the SuperPro RSB from? I am eyeing a whiteline one online.

    Also I see you're in Melbourne, which track days do you recommend? I've been sussing out Sandown (driver dynamics) and Wodonga, have you taken the R there?
