Ready to race!
First off, I'm sorry for posting this but the answers in the previous forums are almost a bit overwhelming.
I'm new to the GTI family but not knew to modifying and working on cars and I would like to put together a list of items needing to be upgraded on these cars.
I am aware of the basic faulty issues and those have been or will be addressed (timing chain tensioner, intake manifold, coils, water pump).
The list I'm sepecifically after would be subframe and suspension upgrades. I have some rattles and creaks at low speeds leading to me thinking a subframe reinforcement kit is in order. Also, what are these dogbone mounts people talk about? I have Koni coilovers which address my suspension so guess mainly looking for subframe reinforcement kits, what kit people usually go with and whatever other issues I can fix or upgrade that are known weak points.
The car runs and drives fine, power is fine for now, just want to address the squeaks and the known faulty areas asap prior to going stage 2.
Thank you!
