Dynamic chassis control retrofit

[mkviken]

People think nothing about spending £900 for 19" wheels that spoil the ride and handling in most situations but look bling but dont want to spend the same kind of money on DCC which improves the car in every situation other than you cant see it.

funny world

also why so few come with dynaudio for the sake of £500 beats me too

Mcviken, have to agree with you on that score. You can never have too much bass.

I couldn't agree with you more. DCC and Dynaudio were two options I would not compromise on, yet to find a used GTI with them both together was nigh on impossible. It's why I ended up ordering new. The two things that are night & day compared to the standard fitment.

I understand it's horses for courses on DCC and it's down to day-to-day use, but it baffles me the amount of justification on here that says you don't need to have DCC, usually prequalified with the "I have 19's and no DCC and I find the ride fine"... yet that doesn't actually address what DCC gives you, not having DCC may be fine, but with DCC it transforms the car and gives you so much more than 'fine'.

Mines got both dynaudio and DCC so someone's getting a rare car by all accounts oh and it's got nav pro and rear camera. I think I'd be better selling on tootle than trading it in come selling time?

We're all individuals, what you might think was a no brainer might not be for someone else. Aesthetics are an important part of a purchase to many but adding 19s, DCC and Dynaudio would add on a considerable sum. I found mine on 19s to ride a lot better than my previous Audi on 17s so that was great. As for Dynaudio, I don't listen to that much music in the car, it doesn't bother me. I have a pretty decent system at home and I enjoy my music there.

Is this a bad time to say I haven't got DCC, I've fitted a set of aftermarket 19s and lowered it on Eibach sportlines and I still find the ride "fine".

Actually, it's way firmer than standard but I don't mind that in the slightest lol.

I do have dynaudio, although the wheels and suspension mods make the turntable jump a bit (but only on LPs playing at 33 RPM).

The Golf is a great car out the box with a really decent standard spec. I'm sure DCC is good and I'm sure the upgraded audio is good as well. But they are options and don't stop the GTI being a great car without them. If I was purchasing 2nd hand I might be a bit more choosey on options. Doubt I'd spec one so highly though from new.
