Mk7 Golf

Post by nate »

So for those who dont know, the wife's polo went to god a week or so ago. An argument over lanes with B double will do that.

But, onwards and upwards.

Wait for it....

Boom. Its only a 92tsi, but optioned up with 18" VW motorsport wheels, darkest legal tint and the schwarz slimline plates.

I reckon she's pretty happy.

I reckon it needs a bit more low.

Looks the goods mate. I put APR springs in our mk7 the day we had it delivered. Just sits nice, and still drives really well.

You'd get a set of coilovers for about the same price

Sorry for the late reply. Got them from APR here in Brisbane. Around the $600 mark if I remember correctly. They did a lot of R&D into these springs and said they went through something like 30 sets before they were happy :shock:

Another brand to consider is V-Maxx..
Just fitted coil overs to T5 and the after sales service was amazing, even though they are in the Netherlands and I bought them at least 5 years ago from a third party..
Quality is good and ride still supple.
Just a thought..
Looking for a mk3 VR6 and a 90's hiace... Future projects for shits and giggles.

Yeah, coilers are definitely worth considering. Similar cost for a basic set. I went the spring rout due to it being a daily.

Here is a reference shot with the APR springs.
