Golf MK5 GTI - Suspension refresh - happy medium for comfort/handling
shail:
I have eibach springs and B4 dampers. Changed about a year ago. Also replaced top mounts, ball joints, console bushes, and more recently rear ARB links.
It sits low, causes some problems with a few speed humps (mainly in car parks) bit ride is not so firm it jiggles you about too much. Mines a daily / family car so went for a comfortable set up.

No the SALK is very good. There are alternatives such as the W(hiteline)ALK, powerflex, OEM S3 insert etc etc but personally I would only use the SALK or OEM S3. I've used the WALK in the past and the bushes didn't last long.

Cheers, yeah I'd read about the white line ones not lasting long ..definitely going superior
I get some vibration currently while driving that almost feels like tyre roar but I'm wondering if it's perhaps already got a dog bone insert of some sorts
