Those calipers are uber light weight,  all those parts are sitting on top of a nice set of KW Coilovers too :smiley:

Got my badge fitted today, thats much better on the rear end now, couldnt face doing anything else though, rough night ...... :sick:



sorry about the crappy i phone images. Next week my new front splitter goes in for painting and customising.

A little update, the car has had a lot of work done over the last few days

KW coilovers
Eibach ARBs
WALK
AP Racing brakes
VWR Lower Mount
Blue Flame Exhaust

The car has only been dropped 20-25mm on the coilovers and the arbs are set to hard on the rears, its hard for me to tell exactly what differance which item has made, but this cars handeling is absolutly amazing now, it just corners and grips ! understeer has been improved no end, the damping is superb and and im surprised that the ride quality hasnt suffered to badly either. The car still handles very neutal with the ARB settings and if you lift of mid corner in the dry you can feel the cars rear end starting to tug like it wants to break free but it still just stays nicly in line ! The steering has also been improved all you need to do is just turn the wheel a fraction and the car istantly reacts !, moves over and turns in without drama or body roll !
it really has been a stunning transformation !





The APs Pro 5000 are amazing, my best mod yet with out a doubt ! they are so powerfull and just stop the car with out you even realising that they are working. These are so controlable and managable, i really cant think how it would be possible to improve these on the mk5 chassis they are just perfect and so well ballanced.





The engine mount also has seemed to tighten things up, its hard to explain, but the the acceleration feels .............more solid ? with a better uptake, there is more vibration and feel through the pedals but no more virbration noises ? its hard to put in to words but the car feels differant and crisper if you know what i mean

The car has changed for the good, its harder more focused and in all honestly i cant think of anything id rather be driving its coming on a treat and hopefully will be finshed pretty soon !

Ill put up some pics of the blue flame tomorrow i forgot all bout it in the driving exitment ( Even though its prtty hard to forget about  :evilgrin: )

Your car gets better but your photography skills dont.  :signLOL:
At least your car is cleaner on the last couple of shots.  :pomppomp:

Its just so much easyer to take photos on the i phone and upload using the photobucket app, pics are bad ill agree ! its due to exitment and wanting to get out for an other drive, i really need to stop being so lazy and take pics with a real camera and take my time . I thought my ARB and WALK pic was particularly Scabby :sick:

big al:
Mind me asking where you got the brakes and discs from? And also how much you paid for them?
Car is starting to look really good, though may I suggest either getting a full length number plate, or consider getting a US spec bumper, as the rear of the car (and the front) looks spoiled by those large gaps either side.
