    DM'd you in case I made it in time.

    MK7 GTI Suspension Parts - Bilstein, 034, etc

    If you aren't doing lots of track days, the linear rate (Golf R) Eibach PK (essentially what you described) is a great choice. It has stock front spring rates and a slightly stiffer rear (285 vs 250lb/in) I have some sitting in a box taunting me. I am just tired of doing installs for this car...

    4/10/24 Track Night @ HHR - Stormy attempts a FWD lap record (how will it end?)

    Someone in marketing f***ed that chart all up like a congressional budget. Those temp ratings are way off the reservation. I've called EBC (and their dealers) directly and confirmed that, as one example, the Blue Stuff NDX is a ~900-1000* F pad. UroTuning somehow listed the BS and BS NDX as...

    Dynamic friction did not offer the front and rear for my specific application, but I definitely considered them. I have a really strong working relationship with PowerStop over the years. Based on the price and the reviews from people in heavier cars like the BMW and Porsche community, and...

    034 Motorsports Audi S3 springs fitted to a Mk7 GTI SE for track use 😎

    Just keeping this thread alive. Fronts appear to sag a little more than I expected, but the rates are excellent, and the rear ride height is perfect. Kept clean pace with a handful of $70–85K cars today on the fast cruise, half of them with seasoned drivers.

    Triumph of the will… 034 Audi S3 springs, B8 dampers, almost perfection.

    Fun YouTube and Google searches: “Texas Three Sisters run” (Our most epic and well kept secret in the deep hill country) “Lime Creek Rd. Fast drive” The former is some amazing sweepers and curves that conjoin (almost 100+ miles long) 3 different roads sequentially named, that are carved into...

    4/10/24 Track Night @ HHR - Stormy attempts a FWD lap record (how will it end?)

    Track Day Spec pads initial review: TDS pads were PHENOMENAL today on the canyon runs. I bedded them in late last night, then drove with them this morning. So far I would compare them to a factory BMW M pad, or perhaps the Brembo pads that come on the Camaro SS1LE and ZL1 that are designed for...

    That is the aero tray I need. Thank you, AK! 🍻 I actually bought a series of M8x1.25 T304 stainless bolts and washers instead of the annoying Torx bolts VW uses. Hope to have the correct splash shield tomorrow.

    4/10/24 Track Night @ HHR - Stormy attempts a FWD lap record (how will it end?)

    Aero tray plans didn’t pan out. (Almost a dad pun) I ordered the one that checked out from my research, then discovered it doesn’t have the proper cooling channels for the DSG trans. The pics online of these are truly terrible, basically a first year police sketch of a suspect. Did the best I...

    Small victories! Firestone couldn’t do the alignment today, which was a blessing in disguise: They admitted their Saturday techs aren’t exactly Mensa scholars and I should wait for their better alignment tech Tuesday. Came home inspired and determined: There’s a fast cruise tomorrow with...

    Here’s the tragic low-down of what happened this month. Some great successes, and some tragic disappointments. I take full responsibility for my share of the mistakes. The frustrating parts issues…I could not have predicted. I pushed it too close to race day for the installs. I still had parts...

    I actually thought about you last night and wanted to reach out to you to discuss how the SiperPros interfaces with your stock BJs. These are bone stock OEGTI ball joints that came with a car in 2017. I was deeply disheartened when I saw that there were only about 4 threads coming through the...

    100% agreed. I contacted 034 after hours to discuss. Definitely not recommended for tracking in this configuration. I’ll check my email again to see if they’ve responded yet.

    Shots of the 034 LCAs. They feel very lightweight and rigid in your hands. 🙌 🤤 Note the horrific voids in the stock LCA bushings. That design has no place on a GTI, R or GLI… 🥵 🤢
