H&R 35mm Comfort Kit change of direction

Don't want to be mean but the strut brace is pretty useless. You will not see any difference. If you want to improve handling get this: http://www.uk-polos.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=29307&start=15#wrap H&R's are fine, we have talked about this previously. Wrapping looks quite good even th...

H&R 35mm Comfort Kit change of direction

I got the kit fitted and it is awesome, the comfort to performance ratio is perfect for me. There is no more harshness and i don't feel every single bump in the road like i did before.

How to make car sound less while driving?

Dynaliner is to absorb airborn noise and make everything quieter inside the cabin, it doesn't absorb water, so if you get a leak it's easier to get dry again

H&R 35mm Comfort Kit change of direction

I currently have the H&R sport kit 60/40 on my car. I have changed direction and am going to be changing it for the H&R comfort kit mainly due to poor roads full of pot holes, speed bumps and im wanting more comfort. So i have these beauties going on tomorrow, http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/...

Its not just the floor that is done. All the doors, side panels and boot area is done in the skinz sound deadening along side with sil...

Re: New Wheels (fitted)

I have been asking some friends if they have ever experienced this monotube type of suspension and I can't find anyone apart from you that has it. It must be quite a rare choice? You are thinking too much about it mate. Go ahead and get them you won't regret it. It's the best suspension money can b...

Re: New Wheels (fitted)

GTi's get the kit for the heavier front axle only. 1.0 get the kit for the lighter axle only and all 1.4 can get either. That's according to the catalogue. For my 1.4 16V i chose the one for the heavier axle. alanjwong: All B12 kits come with B8 shocks. B12 Pro = B8 + Eibach Pro Kit 30/30 B12 Sport...

Re: New Wheels (fitted)

In that case get the bilsteins, don't even think about it. For me, B12 is the n1 choice for someone who is willing to spend some money for suspension and doesn't want coilovers. *Just remember that this setup is a bit low, close to the 60-40 you had and might feel less comfortable for your taste.
