Hi all,
Brought my Golf GT TDI 170 end of January. Thought it was about time to create a project thread :smiley:
I had a 1.6 SE FSI before this and the difference is unbelievable! Ive fallen in love :love:
Perforance + economy = WINNER
SO
Picked the car up on the Friday and here it is after a clean on the Saturday

Wanted coilovers BUT.....I live down a VERY LONG and POTHOLEY drive :fighting: and the car is a daily for work.
Really happy with the noticeable difference in handling but not suffering with ride quality to much. It actually sits ok....obviously i would love to have it lower but still happy :grin:
Got 15mm spacers from Andy “Banham” on here :happy2:
Need to order longer bolts and get these on. Also need to order 12mm for the front!
Need to get some different/better photos up but will do asap
This is it so far....comments welcome :smiley:

Looks good, where did you get your pressed plates from?!
