Apparently my bubs due at Fremantle WA on the 8/10/14 at 20:00, she's on the Asian Vision! This boat is too slow, can't handle checking every 12 hours to see that it's only moved like 350km and still has thousands of km's to go. Would it go by car carrier to Sydney?

Put VWRacing springs on today. 20mm drop at the front, 25mm at the rear. Car rides like stock still but becomes stiffer under cornering and harder braking.

Looks good mate, nice ride height,... How much in total did they cost including fitting?

$599 Golf R Mk 7 » Racingline Aus and I got them fitted at Bridgestone as I don't have an VWR rep up here in Darwin so your rate for fitting will be completely different but a couple of 100 none the less with a wheel alignment aswell

I see video out of APR beta testing 12.21 1/4 with 113.9 trap. Guessing power good for high 11 with upgraded rims/tyres. Must be getting 370-380hp for that speed. Either way stage 1 mk7 going to be fast!

Yep they sure do have potential. I clocked a 0-100km/h time using my p3 gauge of 3.79 seconds
