vRSAlex's Octavia vRS Estate - New Mods On

[h4rdy]

New valve.  The Forge Supersize.  Fitted these in the past and they have worked very well and respond even faster than the D valve.  Even holding boost better.

 

Got it fitted last night and a massive improvement noticed straight away.

Alex is it worth me getting one of these instead of the Revision 'G'?

If so can you get me one please.

How does this fit?

Saying that the new revision G is definitely an improvement over the D! Glad I changed over! ;-)

Dom, how much was it mate?
I think it may be the better option on reflection.

G is available from dealer again and cheaper than D

I paid £39 from germanautospares off eBay... About £35 from dealer.

Well worth it...

Hi alex have you fitted the ground control top mounts to bilsteins before ?
I was just wondering if they fit the upside down shock arrangement as i heard they didnt ?
Also do they bolt on to the OEM tri mounts or is there any drilling notching required like the mk4 platform cars on these

Basically just wanted to know if they will mate with B14s and an easy DIY modification Free install that i could do on the drive

Saw this on your car at edition38 alex, my first thought was "WTF, that looks immense."
What sort of price is on that mate if you dont mind me asking.

Not fitted them to the Bilstein's before, but I just spec them to the required damper and spring arrangement.  They do just fit straight on.  No drippings, filing or modding required to get them on.

First time I got one of the valves in for a 1.8t build I was also like 'WTF'!

Iirc all the bits needed come to around £150.

Ta for the pic

It was quite inexpensive when I tried it.

New top mounts have arrived:









These should fit straight onto the KW coilovers which have the standard size spring.  They should also fit the standard shocks and springs.

Do these lower the car 10mm extra?  Your car looks amazing mate love the brakes

Absolute monster of a car. Thanks for the little blast 'to the shops' on Saturday. Can't believe how it handles
