So I stuck some new bits on !

The Brakes were sent to Jonny & DaveB @  brake caliper refurbs, the quality was WOW  :notworthy: Perfect!



S3 rears


To help keep the front brakes cooler, new bearings fitted at the same time


All cleaned then freshly painted with VRT heat paint on the fronts


Then baked for a short time in the oven


Plenty of room behind there  :signLOL:


A set of s3 rear to pair up with the fronts, just to keep it all even


Rears painted






Carbon fibre braided lines all round


That was the brakes, now on to the suspension
VWR KW's fitted

Great job, lowered enough for me, still with a bit to go!


Popped the old white line WALK out, and in with super pros Anti lift Kit

As you can clearly see the difference!


The new superpro camber adjusters fitted at the same time










the whole car has now been superpro'd!

A few bags missing, but they all arrived and fitted


ARB's front & rear From White line thanks to Rob @W8 performance for sourcing these for me and the bushes and a few other things.



Sub frame out new bits fitted in, while it was out, it got cleaned up and some polish to help keep everything lasting longer





Some nice new red top coil pack thanks to Alex !


Whilst the sub frame was out, my exhaust needed re-wrapping, so we also found it needed re-welding around the gasket area


so re-welded cleaned and wrapped with titanium heat wrap



painted and left to dry thanks to Tim


Highline dash now aboard


Could not resist


Had a play about in this for awhile


Had to re-new this puppy here, not the easiest jobs to ever want to do, but it fixed the problem


Clutch picture!


Gear linkage holders


Then on the rollers for a bit of tweaking @ Auto tune  :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party:


I'm sure there has been a few things missed, but when I remember I will fill in the blanks...

It's almost to the way I want it...

 :evilgrin:

 :signLOL:  you would be surprised at what is left to be done Matt...
Just when I think it's close to being ready, I come up with new ideas, but that's what its all about, you get to a point and find it needs an extra wee touch to finish it off  :rolleye:

Crazy!

Thanks for all the comments guys...

Top service from Rob as always  happy2

I fitted the superpro bushes and went for whiteline ARB's front and rear, i find the car a wee bit more bouncy than before...

Not sure if it's the arb's or the superpro bushes, as both were fitted at the same time!


Quote from: robern2 on Today at 21:54:24
No bounce with mine. Could be the arbs I guess


Id have said dampers if its getting bouncy
 

No cause it done it just as much on the old dampers as it does the new ones.

both kw's

old ones clubsports shocks
new ones coilovers

the settings on the arb's = front med   rear hard.

what about shorter droplinks in the front, how much of a difference would they make over my oem ones?
If it's not broke, Mod it.....
