this was a great video. i also regret the lowering springs. planning on going with a turbo upgrade and was thinking of swaping out the fuel pump.

Just got a ‘16 gti w/ PP and today was week 1 of ownership. Got the resonator cut off in hope of a cheap little DSG fart enhancer but didn’t really do anything. Car feels slightly more alive though
@HaydenCroix 2 жыл бұрын
Congrats! And yeah the resonators don’t do much in our cars. If you want more noise go for an aftermarket downpipe
@corypattersaon8007 2 жыл бұрын
It’s going to be fun man that PP has the lsd and the difference is HUGEEE, me personally I wouldn’t have deleted the resonator because of rasps. But fs downpipe will get you the sound you want + some power

On a eibach spring with a bilstein b8 strut and. No issues feels great? Just curious if you put the lowering spring on a stock strut? Should not do that...... biggest regret is putting on a standard vortex then wanting the xl so had to shell out money for new housing and retune. Always go bigger😂🤣😂🤣

I was on stock struts(only had 16k miles on them) and it rode fine just didn't have that fine tuning ability. I only ran them for 2k miles or so.

What, specifically, is the issue with lowering springs?
@HaydenCroix 10 ай бұрын
It’s really all down to personal preference. They can be a great option for some people on some cars, but if you are considering coil overs then go for them over springs cause you will likely still want to upgrade down the road.

Which route are you planning?… front brake setup is not a hard choice- but the rear setup is turning out to be a pain to get parts for. My MK7 git has the manual emergency brakes, so none of the new golf r rear calipers will work. And the PP rear calipers seem to not exist for purchase 🙄

@@sydemoid I plan to keep the rears stock just with an upgraded rotor and pad. The fronts I am undecided on between the PP brakes or a Macan front brake swap.

@@HaydenCroix I get that, I’m considering macan front calipers with mk6 golf r 345mm rotors (this works 2018+ Tiguan 340mm rotors- same as mk7 golf R’s), and if I can get mk5 r32 rear calipers and rotors… obviously the less expensive way to do the fronts would be 2018+ Tiguan rotors and calipers up front though. (We have a 2019 Tiguan also, and I’ve been tempted on leaving it on jack stands🤣🤣🤣)

I regret a few: Borla S-type catback and charge pipe kit w/ turbo muffler delete. After installing my dp, so much NVH was introduced into the system. Charge pipes and tmd were pointless. I try to justify the fact that they provide smoother air flow and consider it a "support" mod. Still a tough pill to swallow.
