On our last drive, and because there was a comparison with a certain turbo 350z. You really should join us on our next one. Hopefully the 29th

Yeah, I am not one to go that fast but we were playing around on a deserted road with no other traffic in site for miles.

Well mine is measly little 2.0 turbo FWD, so I'm really at a disadvantage.

You kept up pretty good, plus the turbo helps

I try. What it lacks in hp, I'm trying to offset with suspension upgrades. My Eibach Pro-System is on the way.

Thats what I have on my G, It works pretty good, Its just the right amount of lowering imo, I dunno how other guys do it even lower, I still scrape a little with my drop, I cant imagine lower.

What do you think of the Eibach dampers? I was torn between the Koni Adjustables, but you have to remove the rear shocks to adjust them...and I'm definitely not up for that.

I only got the springs, the box says "eibach pro kit" but its just springs, there are dampers and sways and crap it recommends but it didn't come with it. I still have my stock dampers and I have stillen sways set on hard front and rear. I hear good things about the tokico's but do they make em for vw?

Better struts will help a ton!

I just changed out my Tein CS for some KW V2's and the car is a lot more responsive on the track now.

Yeah I got the Pro-System which comes with the dampers. With the VW, stock dampers and lowering springs just don't work. A few guys have only managed to get 3k out of them after putting on aftermarket springs. Since mine is going to be my daily driver/family truckster, I wanted something a little milder than coilovers.
