What have you done to your MK 7 today ?

Thanks both, it’s good to be back!

Welcome back 
Pretty much all bases covered there, a big solid family bus and a lithe hatch for fun.
We’ll done for sticking two fingers up to those bipedal turds who get their kicks from stealing things.

I've just put the original springs back on the car , I found the eibach pro springs and 19in wheels , didn't make for a comfortable ride .

You passed me on the Exeter bypass yesterday. I was the one in the Clubsport with lowered suspension courtesy of a tonne of my son’s junk in the back.

Previous experience over many years has led me to accept that UK roads and lowering springs aren’t a great combo unless you spend four figure sums on top end matched spring and damper kits that don’t have firm springs. Or if you take out a mortgage for a set of Öhlins. But the latter are far too nice to fit to a car, much better on motorbikes where you can actually admire the engineering.

Mk7’s sit reasonably low anyway. Just chuck a few bags of cement and ballast in the boot, works for me!!

That wasn't me that was my sister taking it to get the springs done..

Ahh, I didn’t actually see who was driving, I saw the wheels and then the plate and then whooooosh, it was gone! 
The traffic was far too heavy for any of that in reality.

I think I know your sister

Thanks Exonian, much appreciated! I've enjoyed reading about your new Clubsport too

Finally joined the 'swoopy' club to match the rears, i had to wait a few days due to this (thanks Amazon!)


You don't realise how poor the standard one's are until the new ones are fitted. (can just make out the orange at each end!)

New ones fitted.


Shout out to everyone that recommended the Osram ones 

Also changed the cabin filter which was pretty manky and upside down, good job they don't have directional arrows printed on them

Rotated my wheels when the car was up on axle stands. PS4S tyres are holding out really well and very little difference in the wear between front and rear. Followed the advice from a previous post, switching the backs to different sides when transferring to the front and transferring the fronts to the back on the same side.
