Pro springs with the B4s should work nicely. You wouldn'#039t like B8s on busted up urban roads anyway as they very harsh, but the trade off is better body control than the B4s on windy rural roads.
The SuperPro anti-lift I used on mine didn'#039t introduce an NVH.
The street density mounts should be good but solid dogbones will definitely dump some NVH into the cab

Blimey, 1 or 2 cans is more than enough to do all the doors and main cavities  Just blast the rest on all the control arms, rear subframe, exposed floor panels etc etc.

I had the chance to drive both a stock and modded Mk7 Golf R, and yeah, it’s a noticeable upgrade from the Mk5. Even stock, the Mk7 feels more refined and quicker off the line. Once tuned, it’s a whole different beast—handles better, more responsive, and the power delivery is smoother.
Re: MK5 Gti Genuine Floor Mats Help?????

They'#039re Genuine VW, I don'#039t know if cars came with them of the showroom floor, I expect not as German car manufacturers don'#039t give much for free. Also there are 2 types of mat fixings oval or round so get the correct type for your car.
A word of warning though, I'#039ve had 2 sets of these mats and while they'#039re great quality I found I wore a hole in the drivers mat whe

Re: 8P S3 console bushes and B6 Passat wishbones: tight!

Just get the Passat B6 ones as they'#039ll be cheaper. Get the Passat alloy knuckles as well. Slightly different tie rod angle so the steering response sharpens up a bit too, not to mention an unsprung weight reduction.
I ended up buying the wishbones and s3 bushes/consoles in
Re: What did you and your MKV do today?

Following up on the previous post, put the car back together. Ended up not painting the bumper. I'#039d rather do it when it'#039s hot outside. Melted some plastic to fill the cracks and glue the ruptured parts together.
Replaced the bent fender support. Fortunately the headlight was untouched.
While at it, also replaced both bumper supports cause the old ones were cheap knocko

I am guessing about 2007 they made the change, but depends I suppose on the build date of the engine as seen 2007 S3's and even a 2012 Mk6 R with grooved adjusters. VWG make a lot of engines so some may have sat before being put in a car and missed the update.
VW can be hit and miss sometimes.

Thank you!
Yup, I also love the color - could have been better if it was green, but I really can'#039t complain... The interior and exterior color were a big factor in choosing the car. As a funny thing, when I bought the Golf (almost 17 years ago), I couldn'#039t conceive of having a bright color interior. I couldn'#039t stand it... Now black seems so dull and I have bright interiors
