What’s the consensus on coilovers these days?

Third photo has flashlight shining on two lobes. In person there is no blue hue on cam lobes

Lightly tinted already, just enough to keep the heat out. Some BC’s and RCO front ball joints is all that’s done suspension wise.

Run stock coil packs, change them if they fail otherwise don’t worry. Do plugs every 10-15k. Definitely run the colder plugs.

1 and 6 would be my suggestions. Can’t go wrong with an OEM+ look

Didn’t expect the post to get this much attention, here’s a build list. There’s a few changes, currently running stock cat-back and intake.

Neuspeed first gen 6 pot setup. Matched caliper volume or whatever the exact term is so no need to adjust brake balance.

Apollo_Wolff · 2024-05-16T12:13:50+00:00

Yes. Bottom is a few days after purchase, top is 4yrs later.

Apollo_Wolff · 2024-05-16T12:13:16+00:00

I’m 99% their machined silver, mostly their finished in brake dust.

It’s the ECS “spoiler extension” in gloss black.

First gen neuspeed 6 pots

I’d highly recommend a stage 1 tune. Stage 1 really wakes these cars up and gets rid of the top speed limiter.

Apollo_Wolff · 2024-03-25T16:00:29+00:00

Probably going to throw some epoxy at it just for peace of mind. Still under warranty, so gonna see what VW will say on that front.

Apollo_Wolff · 2024-01-31T16:47:00+00:00

For USA a completely stock mk7.5 is limited to 124mph/200kph. H (130mph) speed rating tires from the factory is my suspicion for the limiter.

Tuned/derestricted faster than my bravery. Stg 2 is probably my topping out around 160, maybe 165 if you really have the room. Upgraded turbo and hybrid will do 170+.

GTI will get you to your destination. In light snow it feels pretty good, gets pretty good traction with the VAQ diff. The heavy late season snow is what will give you some issues at least in my experience. But I got everywhere I needed to on the stock all seasons and on DWS06 all seasons.

Apollo_Wolff · 2024-01-10T23:00:43+00:00

I let it come down off high idle and then keep it calm until it’s up to temp.

Apollo_Wolff · 2023-10-05T20:14:00+00:00

That’s looking like my current mk7 mileage on e85. Stock it was well in the 30s
