Well second visit to my mates at APS on Wednesday.

First on the list was removing the Res section of the Milltek and fitting the straight through


Then we started on the rear suspension by fitting Eibach Springs and Eiback Anti Roll Bars


Now up the front, with new Wishbone bushes. These where replaced with S3 versions which are a solid bush


Springs and Anti Roll Bars also changed up front and while wheels were off we added a unique bit of advertising for APS


Next was a full 4 wheel alignment with front set to neutral and back with a bit of negative camber to help on the bendy stuff


Now drop the ramp down for some bits under the bonnet

Engine cover removed and Forge DV fitted


Engine cover back on with a dry Pipercross installed and a nice Carbon Speed Air intake added


Car handles really well now, exhaust is just right and intake has made a suprising difference.

Lots more to go but have to save up some more pennies first.

Thanks to all the guys at APS Andy, Ed & Nathan for there hard work

Coming together nicley  :happy2:

How have the Eibach ARB's made a difference to the handling? Oh and just to confirm, when you say you removed the res Milly I take it you just meant the res section and not the whole system?  :confused:

ARB's seemed to have helped body roll, I have got them on the aggressive setting but still not uncomfortable.

And sorry exhaust removed just to take out Res section. :happy2:

WhiteGTI:
Excuse my ignorance, but how have you dialled in negative camber at the back, when the OEM mounts aren't camber adjustable? Also, isnt the negative camber meant to come from the front wheels to enable a better turn-in??
