Sway bars arrived

Nice build so far! :thumbsup:

 

[speedster]

Thanks! UNIbrace UB arrives this week then off to chip the DSG next week

 

[speedster]

Just put the rear sway in. The back of the car is so much tighter and more planted. Turn in is amazing.

Heavily considering your last three mods: RSB, UB and DSG tune. I am currently APR Stage1. Car will likely never see a track, just would like less roll and tired of DSG issues. Probably dont "need" any of it, but just want to spend some $$.

 

[speedster]

Hahaha. We don't need any of it but it is an addiction!

RSB is awesome. Especially given the price. UB arrives tonight. I'll let you know my thoughts soon. DSG tune is going in next week.

 

[speedster]

Unibrace!

Installed front sway, Stoptech brake pads and tuned DSG. Car is rocking right now.

Custom coilover springs arrived.

What rate are the springs you got? What were the rates of the springs that came with the coilovers, and why did you opt to change the rates from what the coilovers came with. Did you just change up the front, or just the back, or?

 

[speedster]

They're 280 lbs/inch. The springs with the coilovers are progressive. Dampers are 340. The H&R springs that came with the coilovers collapsed on themselves. There's a whole thread on it, suffice to say that H&R are selling defective stuff and many people are facing the same problem.

I've always been unhappy with the progressive springs and how little travel they have. In short they're more low/show than performance oriented. So it was a good excuse to swap them out for something linear.

Going to change both eventually but starting with the fronts.
