@Msportman that Ed30 is likely to be on air ride, so he has lowered it to that height when stopped. He probably raises it to a sensible height for track. . . All at the push of a button
NOW: 2015 Golf R DSG 5 Door, Lapiz Blue, 19s, Discover Nav, Reversing Camera
GONE:2007 Black GTI Edition 30 3dr

The ED handled really well on track, and it had crap tyres on, as said by Gray it is on air and one of the best kits available at that,  when it's raised it feels like it is on coilovers and certainly doesn't feel like it's on bags, it's not my cup of tea ... But etto
It's running around 380bhp and Mike couldn't shake him off  :happy2:  ........

Yes mate Revo and all the other tuners have been remapping the mk7 Gti and R for a while now,  with some great results aswell, I love mine with the stage 1  :happy2:

Yes my thoughts entirely re air suspension.

Only reason I asked about the mapping on the 7R was that Revo mentioned they had issues with breaking thru the encryption on the latest 2015 car's.....same with APR apparently.

Hvae you ever tried the KW Clubsports?

I'm ordering my third set....brilliant for track and very comfortable on the road. I ran 2 degrees -ve on my old ED30's on competition rubber.

I was contemplating a new R which in my personal spec retailed at £32k thru Drive the Deal
Then another £4500 for map, brakes and suspension.......I may wait for a few to come thru on the second hand market.

I am ordering the KW's and a BBK (Yet to be decided)

Awesome sorted a Stage 2+ package for September

Should be all up together later in the year and ready for next year's track season

What spec and power was your MK6 GTI?

Do you feel power shuffle from the Haldex especially under load on track 
Pearl Black Edition 30 3 Door. DSG. (3rd Edition 30)
Maybe on the too do list: APR Stage 2+, KW Clubsports, Brakes, Diff.
