i have to say it was a close call between the Bilsteins and the new VWR AST setup, was massively impressed by the ASTs on their rocco and new two way was the way to go on a road car, the bit that put me off was you needed to lift the scuttle panel to adjust the fronts
Ed35 tips will probably make way for gloss black (which should arrive next week) to tie in with the diffuser more
final part of the mods undertaken are engine mounts, oddly when the Ed35 arrived i had second thoughts about doing these as its really a refined car, at Revo HQ i was tempted by theirs (they have refined the damping a bit to the previous incarnation) given the quality of them, on the Ed35 i wanted something between the THS and Vibratechnics in terms of feeling and feedback and Revo wanted some critical customer feedback on these
I have to admit i was a bit nervous about this one but have to say i really like them as they work really well as a package and the subframe kit slightly less harsh than the Vibratechnic set up i ran on the roc (i think its because i am now getting old), some vibration on start up, but not much when taking up the bite and the gear change is crisper, on the move their is a nice harmonic in the cabin but no real vibration, for me its exactly what i wanted on the Ed35 as wanted to tone things down a little from the rocco
car will probably stay in Stage 2 tune as i just love the way it feels and drives at the moment as a package, it feels like an old skool 80s/90s GTI and really reminds me of my old company 309 GTI Goodwood.
brakes and intake only other plans this year and maybe an alternate set of wheels
