Glad to hear you're happy with the coilovers mate they are really good for the money. Sorry to see you're sell though hope it goes to a good home  :smiley:

Molesy  :happy2:

Thanks dude   :happy2:

It might well be staying with me ...... surely it shouldn’t be hard to spend 25-30k right ? ‘Mint ‘ cars turning out to be dogs , dealers not getting back to you .. it’s a joke to be honest ! Now I’ve swopped the Wheels back , raised the ride height a bit I’ve sort of fallen a bit for the humble golf again !

Keep it! You have a very well treated Golf right there. One of the very best Mk5's I've ever seen online. At some point these Pirelli's will take off in price...

Yes I am heading that way to be honest ..... I’ve never committed 100% to  selling it , hence it’s not for sale on auto/piston .

I may well splash a bit of cash on some ohlins and ap brakes for it and enjoy for the summer .... possibly look into charging the S2k again ( nearly done it last year but talked myself out of it )

Since I’ve decided to keep the gti for a bit longer , thought I’d splash some cash on the old girl



Test fitted one of my wheels over the s2000 brake kit .... still undersided about it as I think it’s needs a bigger setup and with that comes spacers ect whichbi don’t really want to do ....

So then I ordered these ....



Which should be with me next week .... can’t wait to get them fitted  :drool:

Great decision on the coilovers. I'd suggest the mk7 GTI Pack Performance brakes for your use. It's OEM, fits under your OEM wheels, red painted and with GTI lettering. :smiley:

Are they not pretty much what I have though ? S3/r32 brakes ?

No, is an evolution thereof. Lighter 340mm discs and larger 60mm pistons in calipers.

Probably better off ( for the sake of the difference anyway ) sticking with my setup , along with some 2 piece discs ( either CS discs or mtech ones ) and some decent pads then .... :thinking:

Forgot you had the R32/S3 calipers. No point paying the extra for the weight difference. Get the 2 piece discs from MTEC, those should be fine, or the more expensive discs from the Clubsport S. :)

Love S2000s  :drinking:   If I hadn't invested so much time and energy into my Golf, an S2000 turbo would be high up my list of other projects.

I know you already have Ohlins on the S2000 but I look forward to your opinion of them on the Golf  :happy2:   I bloody love them!

Don't worry about brakes until you've got the Ohlins on because the dive behaviour (slow speed compression) might be different.

.... but I want to spend some more money  :signLOL:

Yes can’t  wait to get them on  :ashamed:

The USA has great support for a turbo conversion but over here only a few have done it , at great cost and much headache ! And for me I like the linear power delivery . I’m looking into the TTS rotrex supercharger kit . Still best part of 8k if done correctly  :doh:
