Will it be as scene as your previous MK5? Keep it trim and in line if you do, these can look stunning subtly modded :happy2:

I don't really to be honest ha ha, its costing me a fortune but its worth it. Nah no scene stuff going on this time, im bored of messing around with wheel fitment and camber and rolling arches and dragging across the floor lol

Yeah I plan on steering clear of that route! Enjoy the drivability too much! Get a few more mods on her and she will be a dream.

Funny you say that because I couldn't wait to get mine on and had to put them on tonight ha ha! Cant wait wont wait!
Night and day difference the transformation from the stock suspension, handles so flat round the corners its mad, just need to learn its limits! Rides nicer than stock not half as crashy, absolutely chuffed. Only thing is the front might be a bit too low and its scraping on the arches I assume its on the arch liner screw. Once I'm happy with the height will hopefully get booked in for an alignment next week.

:congrats: I'm a massive fan of KWs, had V2s on my A3 before, wish I never got rid & got air :scared: Yeah I don't want mine dragging along the floor either, hopefully with H&R ARBs & fully polybushed it'll drive sublimey well.

H&R, FARB and a RARB :laugh:
Bought them from DPM, ordered them sunday received today, kept up to date on the process what more do you want. Might put the rear on tomorrow and then fit the front saturday if I can get on a ramp dont fancy doing the front on the driveway had enough with the coilovers last night lol.
Matt112:
Coils have settled in nicely absolutely over the moon with them was unsure as to how much difference the ARB's were gonna make. Was gonna fit them both tomorrow on a ramp because I know the front is a pain from previous experiences lol. Backs very easy so thought I would put it on tonight while I was bored. Went with the 28mm front and the 24mm rear roll bars, and they are very heavy compared to stock. Put the rear on, on the soft setting and went out for a drive. It was damp outside but the difference is very noticable didnt think the handling would be much better but im chuffed! Cannot wait to get the front on tomorrow and go for a propper drive. Lift of oversteer here I come!
Here's a nice picture :happy2:
