Suspension, top mounts and springs UPDATED FOLLOWING FITTING

[X4MGS]

No I bought it before that (Aug) and it spent 3 months being painted, got it back in January...

I've had great fun getting it done, and finding all the bits & bobs - still love driving her, its amazing how many people stop and stare as I drive past!!! Or just stop and chat to you when I park her up!! (Not That I Leave Her Anywhere I Can't See Her!!)

Thought id update this with my findings after I fitted some new Eibach springs, and new top mounts the other week. Lemforder front top mounts from GSF were used, and febi/Bilstein rears from AVS. Both have the VW part numbers on them. So the car was raised a little, and now sits like this:



Ride comfort has improved slightly, and is a little less harsh. Ive not been for a spirited drive yet to determine any change in the handling department.

Get the front end all lined up properly before giving it too much.

I'd recommend -0.5 degrees of camber on the front to help turn-in.

Looking good

Thanks DH, Its only been 'round the block' so far, and is getting the tracking reset today (hopefully). It seems to still have a good dose of negative camber, but this will be reset after the sub frame is off later this month.....
