Hello mate

And yes Simon does my mapping, always has

Phase 1 - Eibach springs fitted, and carbon speed intake(no pictures of this as not particularily interesting!).  My black badge turned up from the USA, however they sent the wrong one, so he has diispatched the right one a today!

Before



During



After





The ride is just perfect, as is the noise from the intake.  More to come - re-map on moday and then full turbo back milltek in a couple of weeks.....

The ride height is looking just right. Unlike the yellow lines around your car.  :grin:  :laugh:

If its anything like my old S3 with the same map, it will be a blast.  Not loving the FWD so much in this weather, after my history of 4WD's, however it is making me re-learn my driving again, and lots of throttle feathering to get it right.

Remap done today, and via vagcom, it measured 312BHP, and to say I'm pleased is an understatement.  I also had the torque limiters taken off the DSG, so I can utilise all the power - There will be an increased limit etc done to the gearbox, once it is available from my mapper.  It has been done to stage 2 to take advantage of the TBE Milltek when that goes on, and I'll be hoping that will free up an extra 10-15BHP!

On the road it is phenomenal, obviously very easy to induce wheel spin, but the car plus hards and linear from 2750 all the way up to 6500rpm.  60 mph seems to come around in just over 5 seconds(stopwatch, so not at all accurate!!!) providing the wheelspin is controlled.  But its the 30mph+ in gear speeds that just blow me away, and this is coming from a B7 RS4.......

I still miss the 4wd, but I'll get used to it!

10 out of 10 to Simon at Emaps as usual.

Loving it!

should look nice as greenhouse has these and its a good stance  :happy2:

most people go for these or H&R because they are lower personally i m going KW to be different, the prokit does fit our cars aswell but i think its a very tiny drop and they are more money!   :stupid:


sportlines actually make the car a few mm lower than the H&R s , the quoted drops are for lesser models not the gti which is already 15 mm lower than them :happy2:

Really pleased with the ride, not crashly at all, in fact just very slightly firmer than standard, and it seems to be getting better.

Just need to get the sh1te continental tyres changed, but at only 4000 miles, that could take some time
