 The suspension parts were fitted today so here are a few comparisons and pics of the day.....

Stock v's H&R ARB diameter - no weight saving here as they are solid


Stock v's Whiteline front droplinks - the droplinks are stiffer & lighter


The kit chosen was due to recommendations and good reviews on here and other forums....Cheers guys


Surprisingly all the Powerflex bushes were MK5 parts. Part numbers below....







Hmmm, possibly a touch lower at the front maybe?

The coilovers still had to settle in the first pic and have about another inch lowering available both front and rear.



Another pic after a little run and settling the coilovers down.

Fitted my ED30 gear knob (crappy iPhone pic).



This afternoon I'm off to the dealers to collect my cam follower, book it in for a service and will probably pick up a couple of bottles of screen wash!

Brake fluid flush at the dealer for €50. Hasn't been done for over 3 years...can't believe the difference in brake feel.

Highly recommended if it's been a while!

Went to the dealers. Booked in for a service on Xmas Eve. They didn't have my cam follower as they ordered the wrong part! Enquired about them doing the cam follower anyway and they were claiming its a nightmare job with at least 5-6 hours labour!!!???

They don't want to do it and are trying to put you off. However you know it's a 30min job...why not mention this and ask them what they're playing at. I think they get so used to dealing with most of their customers who couldn't change a light bulb and are treating you the same way.

Tossers.

I did, but I'd rather get my mate to do i anyway, he works in a VW Indy - just that its in my home town which is 2 hours away so the part is still on order and ill get it done after new year when I'm down there next.

Cool. I just picked one up from my local dealer yesterday. Surprisingly small little thing! Hoping to fit it the day after Boxing Day.
