I saw the photo that AKS uploaded when they were doing it. Some serious work right there ^^^ The car must handle like a dream now!
Car drives now drives and rides how it should have from the factory, to say im over the moon would be an understatement. No more crashy ,jiggly ,vague and nervous handling.
Hard to tell which components have made the most difference,as so many changed parts all at once,but the steering is just how i wanted, much more responsive with less wheel input (almost feels like a quick rack) ,more neutral aswell, always used to get heavier with half a turn of the wheel, prob due alot to the reduction in unsprung mass.
I was really apprehensive about spending so much money on suspension, worried it would( like in the past) take away all the nice things vw gave the car, ie. smoothness, relatively comfy and rattle free ect.
Alex knows what i dont like and i have a feeling he thought they would be off and fitted to his vrs in a week
Worth every penny and some imo
so you got them in the end then garrie? gotta take me for a spin one day.
Oh Yes... not the first version ones I originally tried to get, lost patience with those and lumped out for the readily avail kit,although when I ordered them Ohlins were out of stock in Sweden and was quoted 5-6 weeks delivery(which I was informed would probably be nearer 8-9 weeks),so booked in with Alex for mid December, then they turned up in less than a fortnight :rolleye:then AKS were fully booked and couldn't get them on earlier, the temptation to fit them myself was immense.
A bit over budget, but phuk it,cant take it with ya, plus i'll put it on the price of the jobs in the new year
Was meaning to ring you
