    Rear suspension refresh

    Hi Triple B, I replaced the rear TA bushings at 90k miles with the Powerflex purple. My choice was based that It didn’t require a press. The originals looked brand new. Did yours look worn? In the end I was pleased with the improvements, and it complement the rear subframe inserts. No NVH...

    Eurosport camber mounts, LCAs, deadset kit, FSB, full dogbone compliment - my thoughts

    Great video! Yes the Eurosport top piece does not retain the bump stops like the factory top plates.

    Eurosport camber mounts, LCAs, deadset kit, FSB, full dogbone compliment - my thoughts

    I have installed the camber kit this week-end. It went smooth. The only issue I have now is my combination of bump stops and strut shaft diameter make the bump stop loose on the shaft because it is no longer fixed to the top plates. I can hear the bump stop rattle on some road imperfections. I...

    Eurosport camber mounts, LCAs, deadset kit, FSB, full dogbone compliment - my thoughts

    So it may not be worth it for the street but if I install them, should I set toe to zero or in between factory and zero ? I’m going to remove struts this week-end but if they don’t add anything noticeable, I may skip them… Thanks :)

    Eurosport camber mounts, LCAs, deadset kit, FSB, full dogbone compliment - my thoughts

    Hi @tigeo Very interesting to read your suspension posts! If driving only on the street, would you recommend the Eurosport camber? I have powerflex control arm bushings and was wondering if the added camber would be really beneficial to handling? Reduced tire life and snow/slush traction...

    Brake Pads and SAE J866

    Adding friction codes for non-PP pads I have installed in the last 2 years. Front: - Textar GF (good daily driver pad, quiet, a lot of brown dust but easy to clean) - Raybestos EHT1760 GH (too grabby, low dust, clunk noise all the time going reverse, inexpensive) - ATE low dust ceramic LD2785...

    Review: Koni Special Actives with OEM springs

    Very nice review @mrmatto I have experience with the B6 on a different car, and I have installed Special Actives (front only) on my Alltrack. The B6 have a lot of low speed compression and every imperfection on the road is felt. They also have too much rebound damping and will make the...

    Superpro control arm install?

    Thank you @GoatAutomotive for listing the options. I am going with option #4 but being 4motion, I am wondering if there is a risk for the driveshaft or bevel box? Anyone can confirm if in my case, I can only drop the subframe? Thank you!

    Burger Tuning JB4 Golf 1.8TSI MQB specific information thread

    Good to know before installing the IS20. Reading back many pages back I was assuming that the 1.8t could run map1 or 2 on 91 without issue. Can an intercooler help with that? Lower air temperature or lower pressure drop would help compressor efficiency at the same manifold pressure. Now I...

    Timing belt options(accessory belt)

    Hi Codeca, Did you order this part and install it on your car? I did and received an old Goodyear Gatorback. While they were premium belts 10 years ago, I will probably replace it sooner than the original belt with 90k miles. The packaging and belt condition was still fine but it’s probably...
