SCCA Street Touring discussion/setup (Formerly Street Touring Hatchback STH)

[DerHase]

I have KW rear adjusters (Bc were back ordered) and 8in 350lbs springs to go with my stock fronts, but they have been sitting in my garage for too long. Going for some flat ride to smooth out the chop on back roads.

ill probably go to koni str.t (available 2025 for the golf) or tein enduapro plus (i bit leery but hydraulic bumps tops could be nice) with those febi / volvo front bumps once i need to replace the shocks and struts.

Are the rear bumbstops also active during hard driving and has anyone tested the rate?

Rears I trimmed 10mm off the tops. I'm not sure that they're as active as it would normally induce oversteer (not great for common idiots drivers).

I trimmed 10mm to settle bouncing after lowering. Wasnt *terrible* but it is better to live with on the highway.

I have a pair of DSG R front springs in the garage if you need them. I was planning on replacing the front APR's and keeping my rear MSS adjustable setup before I sold the car.

I'm pretty impressed with the DCC shocks on the mk8, so I'm going to try to work within that limitation. Is the Mk8 R lower than the GTI? Maybe I just buy a set of mk8 R fronts and same same with the BC rear setup. Wil it accommodate swift springs?

Will def take those off your hands, shoot me a PM with your price. Also happen to have the exact part number?

Yeah I have used swift springs and Eibach 2.5in springs on BC perches on a past car.

I think BC uses 62mm springs, but anything from 62mm or 2.5in (63.5mm) will work just fine.

The price is the cost of shipping. I got them free, you get them free.

Let me see if I can get the part numbers off of them.

I guess TT is the car to beat this year.

I don't think AWD cars should even be in STH. Burn the witch

 

[Maiden69]

buy a pair of the BC spring cups

KW rear adjusters

Do either one of you have the actual dimensions for the adjustable spring perches? I think my google skills are off because I can't find either the BC or the KW perches for sale by themselves. There are a lot of aftermarket ones available, but no one labeled for the MK7-7.5 GTI

Agreed. Just keep STU for awd.

Tangent: noticed all the STH gti's were on V730. I mean i really liked that tire, but i didn't think it was a top tier tire.

It's pretty fast. I'd guess yok's are faster.

Well this didn't age well lol jk. I was also shocked to see the v730 out there. I do know Eric Simmons runs in our region sometimes and he said he thinks that they are the best for fwd cars but seems like bridgestones ruled at nationals this year.

I think you have to order them through their replacement parts department now.

Yep. Si apparently the car to have in any category it's in.

 

[GTIfan99]

No mk8 in STH at nationals. It'll be interesting when someone finally runs one. They're that much better than the mk7.

Interesting. Didn't think there was a big difference.

Like in stock classes, i can see it maybe especially with the 380 with the 8" wheels but in STH where you can change all the suspension, wheels, tires etc
