The basics are great, after a while you don't notice the bouncing so much

It feels so much more stable in the corners. So much so the Mrs noticed the car corners flatter with them fitted vs the stock suspension

She's a bit of a legend really, she knew I'd lowered the car twice through the springs and changing the wheels size

It gets better, got home from work yesterday; Her words 'OK I'll order some pizza, you go get the beers we'll watch the football then have sex'

Amazing!

yeah they do give a bumpy ride but its sooooo nice when you accelerate and the front doesnt lift up like a boat

Oh absolutely! I haven't had any of that horrendous wheel hop when trying to pull away anymore, it's a much better driving experience all round

Sorry to insult your gf but can you take her pic down? It's hurting my eyes

And they are certiainly not blowjob teeth!

shes lucky to still have teeth after sending those bits to phil rather than you!

what gearbox have you got? oh and why tyres are you using??

Cheers for taking it down

it's all good, they'll get here in the end.

Gearbox, I have the M2V5 (I think thats the right code). The difference between that and the close ratio box in the later 5g's and I think the ATR is the final drive ratio is a about 4% longer.

So I figured, make the wheel circumference 4% small then I essentially have the close ratio box

I'm thinking of chaning the final drive when I find out how much the work would cost. Found a box with a long 5th & close final drive giving me a better cruise mpg and better acceleration in the lower gears

I've got the uniroyal RS2's on the front at the mo, new on about 1500 miles ago. Good grip, but I'm not 100% with them on launch. Not sure if it's the roads around me but they seem to slip even if I don't try and pull off that agressively. The TTT's (temperature (A), tread wear (280) & traction ratings(AA)) are very good, identical to Conti SC2's. But it could be down to the engine work, tighter ratios & open diff...

Keep up the good work!

Did PAW install the ATR head or swap the components over into your a5 head?
