So nice to be driving my car after driving this POS Mazda 6 all week.
I've grown fond of the refined feeling again without the bushings. I, however, miss the feedback in the pedal. Ill keep preaching it, it was definitely a worthwhile modification on top of pads. Highly suggested. Merkle will enjoy his purchase from myself
Sways are still on. I'm still going back and goth about these. Il make my mind up when I slap my XB on this weekend.
In other news I got to see rough sketches of my future car. very "concepty" but so far I like the approach.
Got to modify the stock iC hoses for the golf R IC ill be purchasing.
No manifold CEL for 3 weeks.
Boost gauge buzz is bothering me now. Ill have to fix that too.
All in all I like where the car is. Like I've mentioned before, it feels "tossable" now instead of "fragile". Mostly because there are more stock parts on it.

I was a little worried it may be too harsh from your other posts, but it's not permanent, and I'm tired of stepping on a sponge to stop the car.
Now per our other discussion on installing front sways I have also been looking at the Tyrol subframe mounts too.

Its not bad. I'm a stickler and my MKV is way more NVH heavy than the MK6. You wont notice it at all. Keep them greased
You'll love the performance and feedback. I know I did.I 100% suggest doing the collars WITH FSB. You're already down there and dropping the frame, might as well kill two birds with one stone.

How often should I pull them out and grease them?
Is that what I should use?
Exactly, that's the plan.

I did it twice a year, or whenever I was down there for no reason.
No doubt man. I fully understand that statement.

Right on, is the high-temp anti-seize I have pictured above what I need?

I greased them 4 times in the life I had them. (About a year)
I used the supplied grease once and that exact antiseize the other times..
