Very budget track build

If it was me, I'd probably be selling that 5W/30 and buy 5W/40 for track.
Have you looked in to the BC or Relentless coilovers? Very good bang for buck!

I was 50/50 about the oil tbh... the fact that someone else has mentioned it has convinced me to change! Just ordered millers nanodrive 5w40.
Yeah I have, they seem to go for a bit more than b14 and tbh I've read a lot less durability issues from bilstein than I have bc racing which is kind of swaying me.

Good choice with the oil mate.
I've had my BC's about 2 years i think now with zero issues - and i thrash the car. Mother has had them on her scooby for about 9 years, only thing that's ever done was a top mount, it was being daily driven for about 6 years! :happy2: Just clean them every now and then and they'll be sound.
Either way good suspension/brakes are a great mod for these. Brakes for mine was a great one to do. Standards just didn't cut it for me. Plus, quarry corner at nearly 130mph with little to no brakes is not fun, at all.

Is that the br series ones then or others? Do they come with top mounts for the mk5 gti then? I'm sure i read its manufacturer/model dependent as that would save getting some uprated ttrs ones additionally which was on my list of things to do...

We both have the BR series that came with pillow ball top mounts. On the golf was only the fronts and had to swap the rears.

Did it come with adjustable drop links as well? Some of the pics I've seen looks like it has front drop links but not rears?
