Sorry, but I think you'll see there's a lot of time which goes into putting it all together in a concise but informative way.

john_o's giudelines are extremely useful as a structure :happy2:

Firstly thanks again to John_o for this write-up as I can 100% confirm everthing he said about the kit is correct. It has made a noticeable difference even on the standard suspension and my heavily worn front tyres on the short 9 mile run covered before I returned my car once more to the damagers dealers!

I also had the kit supplied by Balance Motorsport and had it fitted by Ed and the team at APS in Brackley. Can't fault either Balance or APS as they both excellenet companies to deal with and Ed at APS makes a great coffee too  :laugh:  :drinking:

Next step some new boot on the front and I will be ready for the Pod  :driver:

Steve did you go the whole hog and renewed your bushes with poly ones together with the WALK install?

....Well, you already know what I think - For me it's a no-brainer, I don't have to think twice about it.

But I guess that what suspension you would go for may have an influence.....Err.....If it's anything KW, no it wouldn't!

What did you think of the VWR/RL demo GTI's suspension when you drove it?

Driving their demo car really showed up the difference between the stock and well setup suspension for me, to the point where I thought something was wrong with mine when I got back in it  :chicken:

However I don't believe at the time it had the same suspension as you have just had fitted.

Given my requirements for what I do with the car (c36K miles a year) I am always trying to get the balance between all out performance and the comfort, practicality and durablilty I would like/need.  :happy2:

I very much respect what you're saying, Steve, and 36k miles p.a. is mega!! Furthermore, you have regular passengers (family) who need to feel a different type of comfort.

That VWR/RL demo GTI is a continual work-in-progress although the spec is getting more settled now - IIRC it currently has exactly the same setup as mine but on a competition damper - She certainly feels the same ride as mine and it's surprisingly smooooth at speed and stable in the extreme. She's just very hard (not harsh) at slow speed over rough roads. Enough of my waxing lyrical!

On the subject of WALK, even though mine have been fitted at the same time as my suspension, I can feel them (I think!) playing their part and it's positive.
