Great car & build thread Matt - glad to see someone doing the handling & brakes before more power!
Interested to hear about the ARB's - will be having a set fitted to mine soon. Is there a reason you went for the larger 28mm front, 26mm rear H&R set-up, over the 26mm front, 22mm rear?

I'm definitely going down the performance route with my MK5 rather than air and wheels like the MK4

Ayup buddy, nice to see you on here. It looks alright from a distance lol paint needs a bit of attention.. Be alright once yippy has given it a detail :smiley: Its the best way can't be arsed with stance.

How much do the ARB's set you back for both? Will be running air aswell so want it to be nice and comfotable... Had mk4 on air without arb on front and it wasnt nice and wears out bearings.

Thanks Tracey its coming along. Think they were about £375 can't remember the exact price. The ARB's are set to hard all round and the front one is just about bearable not much ride quality left to be honest with you.

Cheers Dave, its getting a bit more interesting if anything. The ARB's are absolutely quality, difference is night and day. It takes corners flat, its hard to oversteer and the understeer is masively reduced just keeps gripping. I was unsure which set to get to, went for the bigger set based on other people's reviews really, some people were worried about the loss of comfort which I wasn't bothered about. Like I say there both set to stiff, the back is fine but the front is a bit harsh. I know a lot of people dont fit the front but I think it needs it.
