    R to 8Y RS3

    Ya don't come to Canada...8V RS3's are going for about what they sold for...in 2018. I have a mk7.5 Golf R 6MT that is selling for what I paid new....in 2018....with 100,000 km. If you trade to the dealer you lose $10k, and the dealer will be the lowest on the market and wondering how they sold...

    R to 8Y RS3

    Ya if we had the 8Y RS3 in Canada, my MK7.5 R would be long gone. Many who have upgraded from the 8V /w built engines and went to the 8Y love the upgrade as well...I think getting some type of diff going whether front (preferable) or rear is needed as the Haldex system is only that good, and...

    actual Eibach Pro-Kit lowering height

    Here is a comparison between Eibach's (0.6 drop) and EMD's (1.0 drop). I would say both shocks have about the same mileage on them. The most recent pictures are not detailed...I need a few hours this weekend, I hope... Eibach Pro-Kit (E10-85-041-01-22) /w B6's and a 10 mm spacer (I don't think...

    When do I put my summers on?

    Just general should mention it, some provinces here in Canada (possibly some northern states?) have winter tire requirements set by either insurance companies or the government, so that should probably be the first thing you should check. Otherwise, my rule of thumb is that at night it doesn't...

    MSS Adjustable Springs /w street 205 front and sport rears

    Asking $400 US + buyer pays shipping with the lower collars on OEM struts For the Golf R, the new tracks are still available, so you can see the significant discount to the new owner. https://xlr8performance.com/mss-track-fully-adjustable-kit-for-vw-golf-mk7-and-mk8-gti-gtd-tdi-r-03cvwg7g8/...

    Haldex rear LSD

    it's similar but not the same.... http://youwheel.com/home/2017/04/15/analysis-awd-system-of-the-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x/ The clutch pack in the transfer case is the magic which we don't have where the front wheels get to slip out. Yes otherwise the center diff is quite similar... but...

    Haldex rear LSD

    but we don't have a trick electronic transfer case like say the EVO's do, so we will never get 100% to the rear unless the front wheels are on ice. The front wheels will always be spinning and even if the Haldex locks up 100%, 50/50 since the the front tires are attached always. I don't think...

    Haldex rear LSD

    I know the R diff isn't as beefie as the RS3 / TTRS. I can say right now, my rear haldex is doing perfectly fine at Stage II+, and if it weren't for the new 8Y.5 RS3 wait for Canada I would go Vortex Standard without batting an eye. the thing is though, if a majority of the power is going...

    actual Eibach Pro-Kit lowering height

    So this is something that is pissing me off, why does all the advertisement claim they are progressive? or am I looking at the wrong part numbers? https://eibach.com/us/1887/E10-85-041-01-22-VOLKSWAGEN-Golf-R-pro-kit I heard that there was a different part number for the Europeans, do you know...

    actual Eibach Pro-Kit lowering height

    ya, my front passenger was shot (OEM)...I was going to go with a fixed spring, but thought I would give the MSS springs still a shot at it since they were good with the OEM shocks... however, the perches don't allow the bottom adjustment. I do have the top adjustment too, but now I need to take...

    actual Eibach Pro-Kit lowering height

    Ok this is awesome, I feel way more confident now in the decision. Especially since I see Michigan and NY comments who know what the north is like. Our roads here aren't bad, but visiting in laws in Montreal it is a third world country when it comes to the roads, I have never driven on anything...

    actual Eibach Pro-Kit lowering height

    Just want real world feedback from owners as to what their drop is at the end of the day. Bonus marks if you are running the Eibach's (E10-85-041-01-22) with the Bilstein B6's, and can provide feed back on driving impressions too. All I have already read are positive. Eibach US site says : 0.2"...

    2019 VW Golf R Distance warning Dashlight

    it's more of a get out of the left lane, car length. Otherwise I agree about any other lane on the freeway. Then again it's North America... OP, is that a 2015-2017 message? I assume so

    Just to make us all jell.

    I don't hate EV's, I just hate the Model 3. You can't even use Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, you are stuck with no buttons and a tablet controlling everything. Poor fit and finish that has been complained about and never fixed. Especially here in Canada the batteries are dying much faster then...

    Just to make us all jell.

    For me, I would have at least placed an order, if it was available for the 8Y in Canada. I like the big black grill, and honestly I like it with any colour I have wanted. The fake mesh on the rear bumper isn't a big deal neither...I just can't actually buy it. The underlying issue is, Canada is...

    we are stuck with the S3 (step down from the R right now) in Canada Strong rumours that 2024 we will be getting the RS3 with the facelift, cleaning up some of the complaints about the current 8Y. Once the 2024 is here in Canada, I know my R will be gone
