Oh - also thinking of getting uprated engine mounts... after reading about them on R32OC and here.  This modding thing never ends does it?  :ashamed:

jonnyc:
Lol.. The way that im tuning the car is the way I think that it should be done.. I could spend a fraction of the money making it fast in a straight line but for me thats pretty pointless..

I want to have the whole package, much like my S3 and previous MK5..

Anyways Ill be getting some pics up of the car with the coilovers fitted, and fully set-up today.. Just need to go and give it a quick wash as its a fairly horrible shade of brown at the moment!!!

....No - This modding thing never ends!!

....Yes - I'm thinking of engine mounts by VW Racing as next mod after they've done my suspension in early January.

:happy2:

Ok here we go..

Had a fair bit done since the last time I had pics up etc..

Suspension fitted, along with KW camber adjustable pillow ball top mounts, full set up and a set of Lamin-x fog light covers..

Suspension feels really good, not played around with the damping just yet, got them set mid way front and rear at the moment and they are a touch softer than the H&R coils that I had on the S3, but these will go a fair bit stiffer on rebound..

KW top mounts are very trick, wish I had taken some pictures of them, they are a work of art really!! Reason for buying them was to get some negative camber on the front end, otherwise not possible without either machining the hub or fitting longer bottom arms, both of which are fairly non adjustable lol..

Went for the Lamin-X fog covers just for something a little different, I really like these actually, not that I EVER use my fogs, pet hate when people drive about with them on.. But think that they add something to the look of the car!

Anyways still really enjoying the car, feels mega with a nice set up on it, the MK5 is super safe (ala S3) from the factory but it now feels alive!!

I think you'll agree that the car looks a fair bit nicer this low! At the moment I could drop another 30mm at the rear, and if I was to remove the helper springs from the front, another 50mm up front!! Not going to happen, as the drive shafts would foul the chassis, but nice to know that If I want to go lower I can :)

Really pleased that I haven't changed the colour of the wheels yet, they look stunning on the white car actually, this time the wheels are a much more brilliant silver, really nice finish!!

So heres some pics..











Let me know what you think!!

Thanks

Jonny

Brilliant mate, looks to be sitting at a good height all round

The yellow lamin-x is different but i personally think it looks good against the white, keep it up  :happy2:
