Springs on and Exhaust Pics
« on: 09 July 2010, 22:24 »
Ordered some Eibach Springs for the Golf, just went for the Sportline over the Pro Kit. 20/25mmm drop instead of the 40mm drop. The ride still feels OEM, not that big a drop i suppose, certainly firms up though when cornering which i think the Golf lacked to be honest.
Anyway some pics of the exhaust fitted too.  :smiley:









Painted my badge too  :laugh:






Now am looking into a K04 kit for the TSI, guy has fitted one up here but not heard much about it really. AWE in America have a kit for the TSI, not sure if it would fit UK based cars? APR in America are supposedly have a kit in development, asked Awesome if they know anything about today so waiting for a reply from them.  :wink:

I love the little 'tweaks' to a car. Nothing flash, just really good effective mods, and I really like this.

Kenny did you have to take off the whole grille to remove the VW badge?
In another forum a guy there says he removed his by twisting it to the left but mine doesn't budge!!
