I just noticed - You've modded the upper grill slats to black - Soooo much better, it's what I would have done with a Mk5 R32 too (and the BBS CH's) :afro:

Hope to see you Saturday at Weston, all being well.

RR… yes the slats have been changed to black. I think it gives it a sportier look (which the R32 needs!). Hope to see your beast on Sat! WhiteGTI… yes I have an OSIR front lip and rear valance in matt carbonfibre.

Current Mods: Haldex Controller, HPA Short Shifter, Focal VR3 Speakers, OSIR Front & Rear, V6 FFS, 19" BBS CH, Milltek Exhaust

Future Mods: ARB's Coilovers, Cams, CAI, Remap, OSIR rear spoiler plus a few other bits and bobs ;-)

Thanks again all.

davefish - On your future mods you'll find that suspension upgrades make a difference. If KW coilovers, the V2's will be easier to set up than the V3's.

I was planning on either V3's or PSS10's. I always let the tuners install/setup my mods as I'm a mechanical dunce. My understanding is that V2's do not have adjustable compression. Anyone care to enlighten me as to what that means in terms of setup preference, ride/handling (sorry)?

In broad terms, the KW V3's and Bilsteins (the Rolls-Royce of systems) are best suited for setting up for the track but are tricky to set up in the sweet spot, exactly because of all the variables.

You can partly compensate for what V2's don't have by your selection of spring rating but it needs experienced expertise imo (why I'm leaving it to VW Racing for mine!).

I'm like you - Dare I say a bit of a girl when it comes doing stuff to cars myself. In fact I know a few girls who know far more than I do. I'd rather find and pay experts.

What works for track doesn't necessarily work best for fast road use and vica-versa, so it's always a compromise unless you decide strictly for one or the other. Some people do their suspension for purely cosmetic reasons but that's not my scene and it can be one problem after another - Camber, uneven tyre wear, wheel arch rubbing, hopping, harshness, etc, but each to their own.

APS have experience in setting up Mk5 R32's and Ed is a very helpful guy - Go to my home http://biali.ritey.com/web/index.php and click on APS under our Affiliates.
