What do these whiteline products do?

[Cygnus]

Hi all, I was just browsing the Whiteline website, and saw the following products for the Polo. Now since I have no idea about suspension set ups, I was hoping someone here can explain:

1. What do these things do
2. How do they do what they do
3. Where do they go on the car
4. How will they affect the car's driving characteristics
5. Any other comments

The products are:

W0605 Bush kit-control arm rear

W0606 Bush kit-beam axle lateral lock

http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail.php?part_number=W0606

KCA310 Toe adj kit - shim type

Thanks for educating me.

The first one, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJaZ4yLCTeg
Watch the video and you will understand.

In fewer words, this part won’t let the geometry of the suspension change when you are cornering, braking and accelerating.

The Toe-Kit will change the convergence of the rear wheels, it will help you to be much more aggressive when cornering. In fewer words it will help you lose the rear a little bit.
Do slaloms are going to be much fun!

The 606 probably will help in the rear alignment when cornering. This one is new for me.

1st one is what JMac has been listing recently, although not Whiteline.

I've got them as they were pretty cheap, just need to get them on!

Anybody know if the polo sway bar listed on the whiteline catalogue under polo 02-05 fits the current polo gti? if not what's the part number for it?

Cheers and thanks in advance.

That's the one thanks mate

[Gti Dave]

Cheers for that guys much appreciated. I'll be looking into it and see how much the sway bars are gonna cost me.

Sorry noone, can't help it mate, my apologies. Got the modding bug again and just itching to get the rest of the stuff done so I can stop. Going to be getting the bumpers colour coded, 18" wheels and pirelli tyres on Monday (hopefully), and Bilstein?HR shocks/springs when they arrive. Recently just had an ipod cable, APR downpipe and dogbone mount installed in the last 2 weeks. I'm going nuts with it so far but definately need the wheels, tyres and suspension to reduce wheel spinning

Dave dont go 18's! You're going to make the ride harsh as hell, its going to be rock hard.

I was almost convinced to not to go to 17's the other day when I hit a bad pothole and the whole chassis gave a woefull shudder, was sure I'd broken something or popped the tyre... Was all good...

[Gti Dave]

Cheers for that noone. Yeah I'm aware of it and kinda used to hard rides cause I had 19's on my last beamer with sport suspension and to top it off, came with run flats too Not too concerned with it as Melbournes road are pretty good (fortunately).

Been thinking of the wheels for a while and its very hard to find the right wheels with the correct mix of the following; price, style, wife's tastes and approval, fitment onto the car i.e. no scrubbing etc. Originally wanted the RS4 style wheels but was told that it would not fit. Also was thinking of the Lenso DC5 or DC6 wheels but they may not fit either and wife doesn't like them. Was also wanting the Mk4 R32 wheels but they don't fit either
So, at the moment, the ones I'm going for this week will the the Lenso Muse style wheels made by HR racing which does come in the perfect fitment configuration that will not cause rubbing or any problems (as I was told). It pretty much looks identical to the these wheels in the link:



Let me know what you think guys. Your opinion is much appreciated.

P.S. Apologies for going off topic. Sollie.

Please note, I'll be lowering the car by 35mm with the Bilstein and HR combo setup soon and colour coding the bumpers but not getting the front lip. Oh and my car is silver.
