Hey guys, got my first track day 9th of april so im building towards that as the power is ok at the moment...

My spec im hoping for by april is

28mm Rear ARB
New front uprated discs (not sure which yet)
Audi TT Quick shift

All ready have

Ferado DS2500 pads
TOYO Proxes 4's

How did you find the weitecs buddy

pretty good setup - quite stiff

 

[r8byb]

good good exactly what im looking for

 

[beattie17]

Would you guys recomend running neuspeed rear arb without front one? or do them both?

 

[ibizacupra]

both imho... is 28mm rear... rear one first tho if doing them seperately, and or choosing 25mm rear instead to complement the already 23-20mm taper front.

its as much down to how you like your handling as anything.

me - I like tail endy car which I can steer from the rear on throttle balance.

I made mine, but the Golf MK2 one should fit. Hooch has one and it was very close to the diff casing so he modded it slightly to fit better.

After the lower strut was fitted it did make a noticable difference.

 

[David_smith_909]

sorry for all the questions, how did he mod it? cut a bit away? bend it?

[shouts at h17och] GET ON THIS THREAD [/stops shouting h17och]

really got me interested in this now, any info appreciated

 

[TTS Roadsport]

Just bent it slightly.

 

[TurboCupra]

Worth a go for the money it costs, the upper one made jack all difference.. to be honest they make jack all difference on cars with rubber bushes/mounts anyway, not unless your the stig and actuall CAN notice the difference..

 

[r8byb]

lower one on my saxo made tons of diffrence
