Phil Mcavity:
Recon DSG gearbox  :wink:

vRStu:
APR Pump I think Chris.

Hurdy:
I agree with ARB's

I had them fitted in isolation and they really did make a difference. :happy2:

GTIjames:
Full set of vf or vwr engine mounts, will make the most of the coil's you are fitting as will help to reduce roll as less engine movement meaning better handling and of course reduce wheel hop! Which allows you to floor it better out of corners.

For £400 or so plus fitting, it really is up there with making the most significant improvements to the car, up there with chip and coil's.

Also the views of those who have had them fitted, possibly in isolation so that I can understand their exact contribution towards handling?

how in depth do you want me to go mate?

in a nutshell, you rip out the factory noodle width bars, fit fatter ones. result is loss of body roll and stiffer chassis allowing faster, more stable and flat cornering.

my mate was a non believer until he finally fitted them to his mk4 r32 as well and he was massively impressed with the difference as was i. mine will hopefully get ordered in the next couple of weeks.

too thin and your cornering and roll is noticable but a compromise for comfort. too fat a bar and either you get understeer or oversteer so its about balance. ive always had the back fatter than the front at around  25 with the front being around 22 but depend on how you want it to handle. but summary is, stiff flat cornering
