Nice build so far!
Lol, its hard to let go of the rumble for sure.
Thanks,
That it is. I do believe I'll one day return to the mighty Subaru
I'm actually running a HS Tuning RSR clutch. There were a few mods on the car when I purchased it.

Suspension mods over everything else. Put the power down properly then look/sound good doing it after

If you are having trouble with traction I recommend some stickyyy tires on lightweight rims and engine/tranny mounts from 034 motorsports (street density). They'll give you way more traction.
PS I'm rocking DG springs and am loving them... if you wanna go really low then these aren't the right springs for you. You can retain your stock struts with these though and it eliminates the wheel gap for the most part. Perfect for a daily driver.

I just got some Michelin Primacy MXM4 for the fronts. They grip quite well. I generally have the TC on, all the time. I do need to get the rears eventually though.
I've heard good things about DG springs. I've heard bad things about installing springs in general. Having never done a VW myself. It seems like a weekend task for sure.
Modest drop is all I need, I've had "Slammed" cars and I'm tired of it. I need to retain my drive-ability.
Need to add more on here - I've been happy with my recent mod list and went ahead with the DREADED timing chain replacement. Plus Carbon Cleaning.
Total cost was $2,450 at the dealer, including parts. Pricey but GOLLY JEEZZZ did the car wake up. Pictures eventually. Lol
Edit - Also got new tires. Some semi-cheap ones because of lack of driving this car as it's no longer my daily.
Will upgrade tires when I get rims....Eventually

Copied from my post on the RSR kit thread here: https://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80958
Just ordered a new clutch disk and used this thread as a guide. I already had the RSR kit from a previous purchase, so all I needed was a new disk.
Sachs (03G141031P) Disk found here: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/aud...chs-03g141031p - $100 - NICE!!!!
Also got a new RMS found here: https://www.excelerateperformance.co...-seal-solution - TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!
As well as other necessities, like, a new Throw-out bearing, etc.
Should have the car in the shop early next week and all buttoned up shortly after.

Here's a photo dump of some progress on the car.
Lots of updates since I last posted.
Timing situation went over well, car still runs great.
RMS is excellent and seems to be holding up well as I have been "aggressively driving" the car for a while now.
Getting a TON of smoke on decl. then idle then accel. - Plus on startups - and most any acceleration.
I think it's the turbo seals going out but have not pulled off the intercooler to find out. It's on the list to do.
Also got the APR cruise control dongle switching for my tunes. I find it convenient enough, sure. Just have to swap the DP over and that's not that bad at all. 45mins or so.
Stance is ST Coilovers - Konig Ultraforms 18x8.5 et42 - 235/40 tires - it rubs yes. Fenders are rolled in the front and I raised the back to not rub. Fronts are maxed.
Just kinda word vomiting on this post so if you have any questions just LMK.
I'd like to read on here more, sure - Not certain when anyone might see this, lol.
Also, just remember I did adjustable front sway bar endlinks from whiteline - Trying to chase down a "Can rattle" sound from the passenger front side. I think it's Swaybar Bushings now, haven't checked.
I'll try to get a video of my exhaust and post it up.
