[Lorenz]

Thanks mate, it's been updated now!

Few more pics from the other day - loving this car the more I drive it, great piece of kit.

Looking good Lorenz! Any plans?

[Water Boy]

See ya this weekend!

[Lorenz]

Cheers lads. The plan was to keep it stock for the time being, but you know how that goes....
Springs, wheels and some suspension mods first. Then I'll get a tune and fiddle with the exhaust to get a bit more noise going.

Now sporting H&R 40mm springs and a strut brace. Sits much flatter and rides very nicely.







Wheels coming very soon. Lots of options to choose from

where did you score the brace from and is it noticeable? I get a lot of flex now im on Eibach springs going up driveways and stuff

Picked it up off eBay from a guy in Russia. Well priced and nicely made. It came painted blue and matches the car quite well.
Made a noticeable improvement when it was fitted before I put the springs in.

very nice.
i find a front strut brace combined with a rear sway-bar is brilliant, and effective combo.

Agreed. Rear sway bar is next on the list, looking at the 22mm Superpro one.


Just fitted my BBS RSII off the Mk5 after a quick refurb on the lips and barrels.
