Whiteline Anti Lift Kit

stealthwolf:
Noise, vibration, harshness?

mkviken:
i fitted the WALK to my mk6 today. took a while to find one in stock as there is a 6 week wait in the uK at the moment! JKM came through though.



Fitted the kit on the driveway at home and went on fairly easy. hardest part is getting the old bushing off the hex spigot.



first initial test drive and there is definitely increased traction and the steering feels heavier with more feel.



I'm getting 4 wheel alignment done tomorrow to make sure everything is right but so far I'm happy with it

mkviken:
had the wheel alignment set yesterday

it wasn't too far out but was worth checking. right rear toe slightly out but inside VW tolerance. car has 1100 miles on it so left the factory like that. got it set to Hunters machine tolerance which is closer to ideal.

front castor at 8 degrees which is spot on and camber was very good. toe in was slightly out of spec so had that set right

car is geometry is almost perfect comparing left and right so I'm pleased but it wasn't cheap!




had the car on 2 proper drives on the twistys now and i can confirm the WALK increases steering feel and weight nicely, the car is more stable on the gas and there is more traction out of corners. the traction control is barely activated now and can run without it without spinning its power away no problem.

also fully turned off the ASR and ESP and had a little play around and the tail is quite playful on the damp with lift off oversteer. a nice touch for the 2012MY. makes you realise how good the ESP is though. on everyday driving it must come on a lot but is very subtle IMO and a great safety feature. no need to turn it off on the road TBH



i ran it with the traction control off today and grip was very good even on damp leafy roads.


the WALK by the time you have alignment done isnt cheap but it isn't expensive IMO and does make a difference. well worth a go


i think a 24mm rear way bar would be a nice addition then thats me done with the mods...

Kregiel:
it hard to believe you're done with the mods! i started with stage 1 and was telling myself I'd leave it at that, now hr arb, bilstein b12, walk, tarox 10 pot, forge IC, forge intake, milltek full exhaust and stage 2 here I go... will be fitted in next 2 weeks...

 

mkviken:
well i was going to get a reconditioned rns510 for christmas but could get a milltek exhaust for that sort of money

its only about a 5bhp gain max but does look nicer and weighs a lot less!

if i do suspension it will definitely be a B12 kit but i kind the OEM suspension great for british B roads anyway.


what size ARB did you get? I'm prob going to change the rear. mine is a mk6 though and they have fatter rear bars to the mk5
