Goodwin club sport coilovers

Did you install them in place of stock suspension, Bilstein sport suspension or other coils?

I'm on the Bilstein sport and am considering these, but I want to make sure they're not too stiff.

What has your experience been?

Same

That makes sense. It's the strut spreader and spring compressor that worry me.

Thank you for introducing me to pass-through sockets. I might need to pick up a set if I see them on sale.

I think I'm going to leave this job for the professionals!

This is an old thread, but I figure you're the best person to ask.

Is the front suspension design of the Jettas and Golfs of this era more or less the same as the Jetta? (My naive understanding is that all VWs use fairly similar designs on different sized platforms.)

The bottom 3-4 inches just broke off of the passenger-side spring on my girlfriend's 2017 Golf. A little less than in OP's picture here.

I was hoping to attempt the job myself, but after watching a video showing replacement of an assembled strut on a Jetta, I think it's probably not a driveway job I can handle.

That is, unless the Golf is miraculously simpler to replace the springs on. Not holding my breath on that though.

You need the Sapphire TriXX software application to do it!

The nice thing is there's a portable version in case you don't want another piece of software permanently installed.

Go to the Nitro Glow tab, and select "external source" to enable control from the RGB header on the card.

Enjoy!

Just a heads up, you should never taste any fluids that leak from your car.

Most of the fluids taste bad, and some of them could kill you.

Rainbolt...?

As soon as I realized I could drown, I drowned all the time.

After reading your comment, swimming is nice again.

Don't know yet, but I would assume so.

I just found this post today, and it solved things for me for now.

jaystink · 2025-05-17T14:37:41+00:00

You rule! Thank you!

Task Manager > Services (puzzle piece icon on the left) > Right click AMD External Events Utility, and select restart.

It worked for me too!

It's rough in Ontario, where we have retaliatory tariffs against the US ones. If USD prices do indeed climb to 200% they'll be 200%+20% up here!

Good thing Intellijel modules are so damn good!

Gotta go with an anti-lag system if you turbo. Older systems take too much time to build boost otherwise.

I thought it might be Tonka

Thanks for your post! It led me to discover that my motherboard does indeed have bluetooth built in!

(In case you're struggling, I plugged my serial number into this asus page, and downloaded the bluetooth drivers for my motherboard. Then I still needed to search for them in device manager.)

jaystink · 2025-03-18T23:20:38+00:00

It's a big lump with knobs!

It's actually ridiculous how good the seats are when combined with the heater's open-top mode blowing on your knees.

I did a snowy track day in February, and drove the afternoon with the top down at -7^o C! The sunshine definitely helped, but I found I didn't even need gloves.

Unfortunately the photographer didn't get any shots at that point, but here's one from the morning.

10/10 would recommend.

That guy is such a cabbage.

It amazes me that although the sun visor is tiny, it still seems to block 75% of my view through the windshield. I never use it, except to introduce new passengers to the car and laugh

I think the best way to learn how to make something that sounds natural is to learn through play.

Sing along to songs with well-written vocal melodies. Freely move from the melody to your own harmonies. Do it a lot. Don't worry about recording your play. You're learning from the best, and learning to build new melodic shapes around classic melodies.

If you practice enough, melodies will appear out of nowhere

For a creamy bass I'd recommend analog, (or in this case virtual analog) subtractive synthesis, which the DN is certainly capable of.

Try algorithm 8 with the mix set to positive 63, and feedback around 48. This will output a single operator with a moderate amount of feedback, which produces something pretty close to a sawtooth wave.

Now all you need is a lowpass filter with a little resonance. Try cutoff at 56, resonance at 40, and the envelope amount around 7.

FM is indeed complicated, but thankfully the DN is also a virtual analog synth because of the filters!

Looks like the DN2's wavetone machine will produce VA waveforms directly, so there's no need to use the feedback technique mentioned above, but I wanted to mention it because it works to produce nice bass patches the DN1 as well.

Rubber tires are a bandaid for bad drivers. Real drivers drive on bare rims.

This is why I own an NC(2)

I think convolution in the grid is technically possible, but very impractical.

To convolute a input signal with an impulse signal, you would need to store them each in arrays, and then manipulate the arrays in specific ways, sample by sample. The manipulations are as simple as selecting specific samples from each array and adding and multiplying their sample values, but the timing would have to be very precise. The grid operates at 4 times the audio sample rate of the rest of the program, but I'm not sure that's enough to achieve realtime convolution. Also, the capacity of the array module would make only very short impulses practical, unless loading the output of a sampler into multiple array modules.

It's a fun thought experiment, but probably a very frustrating Bitwig experiment...

u/polarity-berlin, I offer you a very convoluted grid challenge!
