    Ground Control MK6 Coilover Conversion Kit for Koni struts

    I purchased this kit back in April. I picked out my own spring rates and lengths not the standard springs that GC supplies. I installed the front set and drove the car a few miles and took them back off. The spring lengths and rates were off. I decided to sell the car shortly afterward. This is...

    Chris' 2011 GTI

    I sold my GTI about an hour ago. It was a great car and part of me will miss it but it was time to move on. Take care everyone. It's been fun.

    Chris' 2011 GTI

    I'm going to sell my GTI. It has been a fun car, but it was never my dream car. Yes. This grey really looks good in person. It shows the curves really well. It's Meteorite Grey with a grey interior. It has a set of 19" OZ Ultraleggera wheels. It only has 55k miles on it. I'm looking forward to...

    Chris' 2011 GTI

    So, big change of plans in motion. I test drove a '22 GR86 the other day. I was tempted to buy one but they didn't have what I wanted in stock. I've really wanted a 987.2 or 981 Cayman S but their prices have skyrocketed over the last couple years. I decided to look at a 2011 987.2 Cayman base...

    SOLD!!! - Ground Control camber plates

    I'm selling my Ground Control camber plates. They have about 30k miles on them and the bearings are all in good shape. We don't get snow here so there isn't any corrosion to speak of. I have the spring mounts for the stock springs and 2.5" coil overs. Ground Control sells the plates with the...

    Racingline VWR springs for Mk5/Mk6 GTIs and Golfs - SOLD!!!

    That's another option I've been mulling. There's a GR86 manual that's 300 miles away that has Fly-N-Drive written all over it. LOL! Financially it makes a lot more sense than a 7+ year old Porsche that's out of warranty.

    Racingline VWR springs for Mk5/Mk6 GTIs and Golfs - SOLD!!!

    Yes, I've been putting this off for a long time but I'm ready to move on. I really want a RWD sports car (Cayman, Boxster, M3, etc).

    2013 GTI - K04 Build

    Nice job! Your car looks like it's set up really well.

    Chris' 2011 GTI

    I've had the car back together for about a month and it's been a little better since I raised it up 1/2". The VWR springs are a better match for the Koni Yellow shocks and the car drives great on relatively smooth roads. Unfortunately there are a few things stacking up against them: 1. We live...

    Sean's Shadow Blue GTI

    Hey Sean, Out of curiosity what are the specs for the springs you've been running? I just ordered a Ground Control coilover conversion kit and I spec'ed 290lb/in x 8" long springs F/R. Thanks, Chris

    Tuning in California still possible?

    I had my car smogged in May/June of last year. I have an IE stage 1 tune and it passed. I was actually planning to go back to stock but thought I'd give it a shot. I believe they are looking for tunes that disable/ignore the O2 sensor readiness. AFAIK all of the stage 1 tunes use stock hardware...

    Chris' 2011 GTI

    I got the car back together this morning. It’s at 25.625” FTG in the front and 25.5” in the rear (~13.25” axle to fender). That’s basically 3/4” lower than stock.

    Chris' 2011 GTI

    Yesterday I pulled the right hand spindle and strut assembly off the car and took some measurements of the Ground Control spring cup. A couple hours later... While I was in there I noticed that the bump stops look like they are tearing at the base. Well, the cup in the GC camber plate is the...

    Chris' 2011 GTI

    Today I moved the front sway bar to the soft position and added a little toe out in the front (about 1/16" total) in an effort to reduce understeer a bit. We'll see if that helps. I've also decided to raise the car back up about 1/2". It's hitting the bump stops and rubbing the fender liners...
