Superb build quality these. Roll on Wednesday and fitting. :cool:

gorgeous mate
bet you cant wait to get them on
how much if you dont mind me asking
-
Looks stunning.
Would it be fair to suggest that you probabably have one of the most thoroughly developed and 'sorted' privately owned Mk5's in the UK? To be fair, there is little that you haven't addressed. Good work chap :smiley:

very nice.. :cool: :cool:
I take it the numbers mean they are adjustable??

Is the damping adjustable for both compression and rebound damping? :undecided:

Awesome shocks but they cost more than my car.

seriously nice :wink: will look spot on once you get them fitted :afro:
and why are they not fitted yet :laugh:

Yes :cool:
not so cool when you'll put them on one setting that works, never change the settings again and the valves seize up.

That is a possibility, but I'll have at least 3 or 4 combinations to use fairly regularly as I'll need at least a road setting, a track setting and a drag strip setting. All quite different. As long as you protect them from the start you shouldn't have issues with them seizing. The fact that I'll alter the settings 20-30 times a year should help avoid seizing. :smiley:

Yes :cool:
So each leg has TWO separate adjusters? :undecided:

No, they aren't INDEPENDANTLY adjustable for bump and rebound. The one adjuster does both, so adjusting for a harder bump dampening will give you a harder rebound dampening. :smiley:

Ahhhhhh, I see. Thanks for clarifying. :afro:
Anyway, hurry up and get them fitted! :tongue:

They are on Sean :cool:
Work very well too.
They feel great on the car. Currently running setting 1 on the front and 3 at the rear. Tried 10 at both ends earlier and now need a new lower spine :shocked: Imagine riding a pushbike with no suspension or seat at 60mph and you get the picture. Handled bloody brilliantly on that setting though :smiley:
Not got a pic of the car as it stands yet, but here are a few pics of them in various states of fittage.

Cool! :cool: :cool:
Just remember the next time you crank them up to ten, make sure your chiropractor is with you too! :grin: :grin:
Are you going to upgrade the ARB drop links, because they will now very much be a 'weak link'!

I've had a look at the BSH ones (but not much further for other makes), which look very substantial, but I'm just seeing what the handling is like before I make my next step :smiley:
