    Gti Full Suspension Build - Looking for Advice

    I took your advice on the knuckles and am forgoing them for the time being. Maybe after I do everything else I might change those to lose a couple grams of unsprung mass which should convert to what, 100-150lbs of sprung mass? But yeah, those aren't going on any time soon. As for your...

    I was hoping someone running Verkline parts would post on the thread, so thanks. I just went to your channel on YouTube and realized I had seen your Verkline unboxing video a couple of months ago. Any chance of making a review video with your impressions? I personally would love to watch...

    Gti Full Suspension Build - Looking for Advice

    Hey everyone, this is my first time posting after years of lurking on both this and the mk5 forums. My first car was a mk5, and since then I’ve been very much a fan of the Gti, which is why I bought a new one in 2019. After thinking through fantasy build after fantasy build, the time has...
