I've been out to test my new suspension on a 44-mile circuit of local roads this morning - About 80% being twisty B-roads. The surface was damp, with wet patches but drying out - A mixture.
I'm finding that although she feels hard, not harsh or jolting, on rough surfaces at slow 10-25 mph speeds, she feels extremely smooooth at higher speeds. She feels so flatly planted that I hardly knew I'd been through those twisties, although I could occasionally feel the Quaife maintaining traction. The combination of the VWR-KW-V3's, Whiteline AntiLift kit, Quaife diff, and Mark's expert setting up, has resulted in my car feeling even more enjoyable to drive. Who cares about how big or small my bhp is!
I'm really pleased that my KoniFSD's failed!

....Not cheeky at all! My pleasure :smiley:
Luca has also asked. I shan't be putting her into a hedge though! It'll depend on conditions and I don't know the roads up there, but hopefully you'll get the general picture.
I hope you make The Pod :happy2:

....Yes, I realised today that just the Quaife and my new suspension has cost approx £3k. But would I do it again? - Hell yeah!!
It's good to know that my 'reviews' offer helpful/interesting info :happy2:

Many thanks for the brilliant right up RedRobin - been very informative and interesting to read.
I was in touch with VWR couple of days before and spoke to Mark. Have to say, he really knows what he's talking about. I felt the peace of mind after speaking to Mark and now after reading your review, i'm satisfied that VWR is going to be my first port of call when modding commences. He did refer to you with the recent suspension set up you had done, and recommended to read your post about it. At first he referred to you as "Robin" so didn't know who he was talking about. Then it clicked - VWR......Robin......Forum......Red GTI......Quaife......Ah, RedRobin!
When i get the suspension sorted obviously there'll be a compromise in comfort, but how much of a difference do you think there has been from standard? Also, what difference is there between the VWR KW V3 suspension and the 'normal' KW V3?
