Hi Everyone, I recently installed the Tyrolsport Subframe kit on my 2011 GTi. I did the front and rear together. I recently added to new Contis DWS 06 in the front, so I figured let me add the kit to make the car more stable and get the most out of it.
The car feels stiff and somehow wobbly, as if there is a disconnect btwn the steering and the tires. Don’t know how to explain it. The clonking noise is gone. There is still some clicking when turning the wheel from a stopped position, but I would assume that’s normal. However, I feel the car being more wobbly, and the drive feel a little off. Maybe it’s the new tires, maybe it’s tire pressure, or maybe even the alignment that was done is a bit off, but there is definitely something different about the car. I’m taking it back to the shop tomorrow, but figured I’d ask if anyone had a similar experience after installed the Tyrolsport kit.
P.S. Everything is stock on my car, except for the APR Stage 1 done 5 years ago.
Thanks for your input
