KCA314 (WL Bumpsteer Kit) is now ACTUALLY in stock at Balance.. Should I?

[Tfsi_Mike]

No probs!

There is an optional rubber boot, I fitted it to give a bit more weather proofing.  Im due to move to Uk by christmas anyhow.

Yep, there has been some intimacy at some point with the driveshaft & the frame    lol

^^^^^^^ Just ordered this kit, Mike was it straight forward to fit? Any tips or things to watch out for? and do you need to get alignment after? Thanks for any help

I would go for an alignment afterwards as matter of course.  Dead simple to fit.  I think there is a short vid on you tube of fitting.

I just found the link on Balance Motorsports site. The £130 price is a special until 1st September so now I need to make a decision quick lol.... Mike where are you with the review lol???

I think I will get one anyway, by pure chance my payday is 25th so I will beat the deadline, but I'm onto £2000 this month on the car already.... £1000 2 months before etc. Expensive business lol..

This is the link to the offer at Balance.

^^^^^^^Thanks op for the post, been waiting so long for this had actually forgotten   Mike thanks sent found the vid. and the modding goes on and on

[SteveP]

Just ordered mine, after speaking to Julian @ Balance I am looking forward to getting this fitted even more 

[Tfsi_Mike]

I almost forgot about it.  Julian said he emailed everyone who bought the WALK when the b/s was released but I didn't get it, must've been a group buy mixup

I was going to organise a GB but I only had small window of time to buy and fit it for my 10 days in the Uk I had

[RagingKileak]

Let me know how you guys get on!!

just wanted to post to say thanks for the two orders we received which we lost money on. Let me explain
We got our invoices through and realised we'd undersold but couldn't work out why as a previous invoice was much lower
It transpired that the retail price of this kit has changed. Whiteline.com.au was listing KCA314 at £278 inc vat
http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail.php?part_number=KCA314 which is still not right
the correct UK suggested retail price of KCA314 is in fact £190.80 inc vat
We have amended our website prices to reflect this.
here is a link to the special offer again

thanks and sorry for the confusion - luckily we didn't sell too many at the wrong price!

Did anyone more try the kit yet?

[fab5freddy]

Bruce i fitted this and have to say it's a great mod 

As the the name suggests it really does soak up the bumps and makes the steering less twitchy and the need to wrestle the wheel has all but gone

Far smoother handling and feels really planted on bumpy corners

Well worth the money IMO 

[mkviken]

how much lowered is your car?

Any downsides e.g. increased cabin noise or unwanted vibrations ?

[fab5freddy]

Absolutely none, it's all good  

EDIT: Reply #24 in this thread gives some more good info
