I've put mpss on the front pal, the springs are h&r, I might put mpss on the rear but I'm going to wait after the spacers go on to see how much room we have to play with 👍

Looks perfect... Loving the Daytona with the black pack... Looks classy imo. Personally I don't like it when cars look too low ... Point of being lower is to improve handling. I used h and r on my old tt and looked spot on so May have to do the same. toying with the idea of coilovers but don't really need the adjustability as I know I will never bother changing it plus they don't come cheap. How is the ride and handling?

[Sonnybo55]

I thought the same about the coilovers mate, regarding the ride it seams about the same but need to get the tracking done tomorrow to really get a feel, but definitely feels more planted let you know tomorrow pal, also getting the cat bypass and panel filter fitted tomorrow

Looking good. Gotta love a black grille. Still waiting to find time to fit mine.

 

Folding mirrors as well, are they factory fitted?

 

Interested on hearing your feedback on the ride quality with H&R also as I am looking for some lowering springs although I only want to drop the front on mine.

[Sonnybo55]

Cheers duke, the mirrors are factory. I'll let you know later about the ride quality 100% but using the car today it felt quite good 👍

Hi guys, just got back from having the bypass fitted and tracking redone, feels loads better ride is good, i think I would have given coilovers a try but as the car is my wife's it's not worth it, im waiting on a call for some h&r anti roll bars at the right price they should do the trick, maybe the spacers may make the difference too

[sawda]

I would love the DDC coilovers but they cost alot of money and not sure I can justify it.

Just what I was thinking the car does feel a lot better now though, I'll add some anti roll bars when we get the car back from the dealers

Guys I've added the spacers today the car looks great, but I have a slight rub from the drivers front arch on harder bumps I think it's the screw that holds the arch liner. Anyone else have experience with this. I worked out that a 10mm spacer is still narrower than an 8.5" rim with a et48 offset by at least 4mm that most people have

Looks beautiful Sonny, spacers and lowering make a real difference to the stance

[Sonnybo55]

Thanks pal, do you have an uprated anti roll bar on yours ?

[booker]

No, just the Bilstein PSS10 kit - let me know what you reckon it does to your car Sonny

[Sonnybo55]

Ok mate no worries, 034 should be here Monday booked in Tuesday for realignment 👍, felt good driving it today been away having a new gearbox fitted for nearly two weeks, mrs has been driving 1.6 tdi a3 Lol

I'm not sure if this helps...

Standard Rotor (235 F / 225 R). 8.0j rims are ET50
Optional Rotor. (255 F). 8.5j rims are ET53

[Sonnybo55]

Thanks Paul
Correct me if I'm wrong, that's 9.7mm more than standard plus the bigger tyre, they would rub like crazy if lowered

[P_G]

FYI my winters are 8.5J x 19 ET 45 with 235/35 tyres all round and there is no rubbing with this configuration on standard suspension.

Got the anti roll bar fitted today, although the car needs retracking, I can say that it Is an awesome addition, really transforms handling
