    Hi, I have just fitted some coilovers to my golf, and at the mo drives bloody awful lol, due to it having loads of camber and the tracking being way out. I would like to know whats the best amount of negative camber to have for good handling and what about tracking? Do you guys have any toe in or out? Want a good setup due to hopefully doing some more track days in it. Cheers

    Hi, Has anyone changed their steering arms on their MK3 Golf VR6. I have a bent arm I found out when I went to have my tracking done, and since fitting the coilovers its really noticeable and now drives bloody terible, lol. Is it an easy job? And do you need any special tools? Cheers AD

    Nice one, Cheers. A mate of mine has an e46 m3 with the smg gearbox which is giving him problems at the mo, seams to be a comon problem on then.

    Hi, Hope this isn't a silly question, but when you fitted your lower front strut brace, does it use the wishbone bolts? Cheers AD

    So the front of the golf sat way too high, so I managed to get a used set of konigsport adjustable damping coilovers for what I think was a fair price. Today I managed to fit the fronts. Here's a before pic, And here's after, Not sure its going to stay that low. I still need to free off the rear's spring seats, once that's done I'll throw the backs on.

    Na can't smell coolant, but I am loosing some, it has a leak from the radiator so can't tell if it is only loosing from the radiator or the radiator and the matrix lol.

    Just read through your thread. Its a real pain putting wright other peoples bodges, I've had cars that have been similar. Your doing a good job of sorting it out by the looks of it. It must be a relief now having sorted your matrix problem. I am getting a wet drivers foot well. I'm hoping its blocked drain holes and not the matrix. Really should check it out. Keep up the good work.

    Did a full days track day with msvt, here's a pic there photographer took. https://mail-attachment.googleusercontent.com/attachment/?ui=2&ik=e56e69fa8d&view=att&th=14109073e0907f0b&attid=0.2&disp=inline&safe=1&zw&saduie=AG9B_P_nVqGwzL1ZkR80v9sCbRJw&sadet=1379367445178&sads=gG4AGPeCC17tw5z0YcCHGZMaGsw Whats a how fast sesion? Do you get timed? Have only just started on the lightening front, I'm sure plenty more will be coming out. lol

    yeah, bonnet made a big difference. Am bidding on another set of springs on ebay at the mo. I'm sure I'll be taking more out. lol

    Got myself a Bedford autodrome sticker from my track day, removed my rear wiper motor for a bit of weight saving and I prefer the look without and blacked my vw badge. The back is looking a bit tidier now.

    Na, they are 312mm, with red stuff pads. They worked brilliantly on track, didn't get any brake fade and surprised me as to how well they stopped. A well recommended upgrade.

    So I did my first track day on Monday. Great day and and the golf did me proud. Went well with no problems, even after a full day of hard driving. Definitely doing some more.

    Thats what I thought, first time i've cut a pair of springs down, in the past have always just bought a shorter pair. It's been mentioned that maybe the lower part of the spring I cut off could possibly be just like a helper to locate it.
  16. ad_coupe
    Or take it out completely' date=' you'll be really slammed then [/quote'] Good thinking boys, I'll give them ideas a go next week. lol
  17. ad_coupe
    Yeah, I've driven about 50 miles since, still sitting high. Never mind, I'll just have to have a look for some different lowering springs.
  18. ad_coupe
    Yeah, can't beat a bit of fast and loud cowboy style lowering, yeeha! Its was meant to be a temp solution. It doesn't look any lower but I didn't measure it before I did it. Spring is seated right. Perhaps it has dropped just buy the the thickness of the spring? 10mm? Doesn't look like it though.
  19. ad_coupe
    yeah, know what you mean, but i left it too late to order any, thought it might be better than it sitting really high at the front for the time being. Turns out it didn't do anything anyway, still sits front end high.
  20. ad_coupe
    I only thought of doing it the other day and didn't have time to order a pair before my track day on monday. Any ideas as to why it still sits high ?

    Hi, I have only had my vr6 about two weeks, and it sits a little high at the front. While doing a couple of jobs on the car yesterday I decided to cut 1 coil out of both front springs with intention of bringing the front down about 20mm. My problem being, after cutting the coil out the ride height is still the same. The car has koni shox and eibach springs. Anyone have any ideas as to why it didn't sit any lower? Cheers AD

    Spent the day on the vr6 yesterday. Here's the jobs I did. Replaced both front wishbones, N/S front wheel bearing, Cut 1 coil out of each front spring ( in an attempt to bring the font of the car down a little, unsuccessful), Rear n/s engine mount, Changed the brake fluid and bled the brakes. Fitted a pair of front wiper blades, New panel filter, turns out the car didn't have a k+n panel filter like the seller said it had.

    So yesturday the golf decided it wasn't going to start. The starter packed up. I whipped it off last night and had it refurbed this morning, then fitted this afternoon. Also took a bit more of the interior out. Well they do say Lightening is the best form of tuning.
  24. ad_coupe
    Oh and I stripped the back seats out.

    So the first Job I've done was to source a bonnet the same colour and swap that over. Before After A marked Improvement I feel. I have found a few faults with the car so am going to get them sorted this week as I have my first track day 1 week from today. Jobs to do are;- fresh pair of wishbones, rear engine mount, front n/s wheel bearing, fresh brake fluid, have a look where i'm loosing water.
