Someone finally put their Dinan coilovers on! Very excited to hear more feedback on them. Mine are still in the basement waiting to go on (probably this spring). Make sure you update that old Dinan thread too.

Yeah, mine have been sitting in the garage since they went on sale i think last December... that's 2017, not 2018.. along with the camber mounts. Knew i didn't want to deal with rubbing and wanted better turn in without going with a rsb. Just my untested theory is it's better to have as little connection between the 2 wheels for better suspension articulation for comfort and traction. I think i read that when they were designing the Lotus Elise, they didn't add sway bars for this reason.
The installer did lower it more than i wanted, but so far, I'm ok with it. I'll be going on my bumpy background commute today so I'll know more.
That Dinan thread turned into the Dinan piggyback thread because no one installed these coilovers afaik. But I'll definitely update.
That being said I'm no expert when it comes to tactile feedback and subtle nuances of handling, so it'll probably be pretty generic.

My JB4 tune, GFB dv+, ecs flush kit, ecs turbo muffler deletwle, and ecs turbo inlet pipe all came today. Last night i installed the lamin-x all the qay around, just the tint tho (lightest colored smoke) and yellow fogs.. also threw the rear badge color match inlay in, looks surprisingly good. (GFG)
Should have everything installed by the end of the week, but currently central PA is getting blasted with shitty weather. Im ready for spring.

Had an AWESOME time last night indoor Karting. Several other GTI, R, and Audi in the parking lot in addition to our group.

Put my Altimax Artics and the VAQ to work, made it up some slopes that some AWD pickups couldn't make!

Yes she did lol, she’s actually lined up to race Rally X Lites. Very impressive driving to say the least and yes I did get smoked haha.
Talking to regulars there Friday nights are the time to go, usually a variety of professional or up and coming drivers there given our location (Charlotte, NC) there’s no shortage of talent
But of our group we went with I was the fastest, so I had those bragging rights

Not today, but in the last week... 17z on my TDI, and mud flaps... Also went back to stock height. Was on H&Rs but it was too low (for me) in LA... The wheel gap is here to stay unless I can find some seriously beefy tires, haha. And some touch-ups are needed on the brembos. They barely fit under RSE05s, 10mm spacers but 5 may have cleared.
PP rear brakes, GTI/PP/R master cylinder and brake booster, side skirts and front lip coming next. And one day I'll install my folding mirrors with black caps.
Threw in a before picture. I loved the look but I've scraped too many times. I'm actually running a Unibrace UBQ and I've caught it on a hump coming out of an underground parking garage, thought I seriously broke something.

Was going into a shopping center not far from Beverly Hills yesterday. When I saw the cusp at the top of the entrance to the center underground garage, I said fuck it and parked outside. Lowered or not, these folks building these shitty roads and parking entrances/exits clearly lack common sense.

Blade3562 - Have you tried using Off-road mode? I found the Haldex completely different in the snow using this mode.

I was so happy when it started snowing. I wish I had an AWD car to go have some fun in but my camry with broken ABS sensors lets me have a little fun. We got POUNDED this weekend. Had some fun blasting through the empty streets to go buy another snow shovel so the lady could help me clear the driveway lol
