Nah, won't go that route. I need to remove the subframe for the sway bar so figured just to get this instead of the regular bolts. Just waiting on balljoints and then ill put it all in.

Clutch came in the other day

Randomness... headrest side bolsters for the kiddo (and adults I suppose). It's not a "Golf" part so the angle doesn't perfectly match the rears seats but it will do just fine. I expect the kiddo will thank in me for protecting his neck in 10 years, while cursing me for making him take a road trip in my 20 year old Golf .




There is a different style that I have also ordered that looks stranger but might be better, waiting on that to come in...


There is another style, that seems to be discontinued, that would work best with the euro headrests, but well over $300, uggghhh!

This one looks like headrest from integrated child seat on EU spec cars. VW sharan, and EU Passat B8. Apart from headrest, rear bench is different (or individual seat in case of sharan), with integrated part that lifts. That bench + headrest makes quite good child seat.


It looks like this:

This one looks like T5/T6 multivan

Yeah the integrated child/booster seat is really cool, though not something that can happen in the Golf. Would work great with any off the shelf booster seat though.

Unfortunately. I checked cars most similar to golf hatch (Golf SW, Golf sportsvan, Skoda Octavia, Seat leon) and none of them had bench with integrated booster. But I checked part no. of passat B8 headrest for kids :

Got the email a while ago, my Maxton "Clubsport Style" rear spoiler is scheduled to arrive. Really hoping this thing looks like the picture on their website, if it doesn't, and its just that flat looking piece, I will definitely be calling them asking why the photo of a part they are not selling.

I got a set of Neuspeed RSB clamps. Last week I started having a nice squeak and clunk any time I turned and the rear suspension was loaded. Slid under the car to grease the end links and make sure everything was nice and tight and it turns out that one of the sway bar to frame clamps that came with my sway bar had rusted through and snapped leaving the one side of RSB just literally hanging out.

Not today, but yesterday, recieved brushed aluminum mirror caps from @Track R . Quick, easy, communicative, and my wife is happy.

Ordered a set of Extreme Contact Sport 02 to be installed tomorrow at Discount Tire. I am running PS4S right now and decided to change because once they went past 20k miles they started humming/howling and it has only gotten worse. I have almost 30k on them, still have some life but the noise is too annoying at this time. All my miles are highway miles as I commute around 75+ miles a day to work, no track at all.

From the reviews here and online I think the only minus about the change is a little less wet traction, but I am not sure I will notice as I only daily the car.
