VW RacingLine Springs+Dampers kit

<< < (2/3) > >>

dronners:
completely agree with your review. ive had mine on maybe 6 months now..  certainly not the most hardcore out there by any means but perfect for a daily..  also FYI you'll probably get rid of the scuffing by removing the top arch liner screw and pushing the liner under the lip..  worked for me

I just put these on a 78k car and can confirm everything in this report. Mine have barely done 50 miles yet so more to come when bed in :)

I'm glad others are feeling suitably soothed by this kit  :smiley:

What I like is the speedy response of the dampers.   That issue where the front axle hits a bump and is still recovering when the rear axle hits it, which causes a nasty shudder/unsettled feeling in the whole chassis.   The OEM setup was terrible for that, and it's vastly improved with this kit.

That behavior is also a trait of short wheelbase cars, so Ford have developed a system for their adaptive damper cars which analyses the front axle's damper behaviour over bumps, and then commands the rear dampers to adjust themselves accordingly to get rid of that shuddering.  Clever stuff!

Hey Pudding,

How are you finding the springs and dampers?

I feel my suspension needs an overhaul and have been contemplating this kit. Did you update your top mounts and spring pads in the rear?

Hi mate

I upgraded to a Ohlins coilovers because I found the VWR kit to be a bit on the soft side for my tastes.  Brilliant on the daily grind, but when pushing the car hard into bumpy corners, I was getting some arch contact.  For <£600, there is very little to complain about tbh mate.

Yep I replaced all of the top mounts and rubber consumables.  It makes no sense to fit brand new suspension to old parts  :happy2:
