I put my Forge strut brace on...Cheers Shane...Havn't driven with it yet, cos I went to my local just after I put it on, then went to another pub, then got home at 4am, and I am still a bit tipsey, so I wont be driving for a few hours...

I bought a digital tyre/tire pressure gauge today. I've had my GTI for almost three weeks and I wanted to know what the "stock" pressure was before I played around with it to suit my needs.
Turns out, the dealer didn't know either and gave me a range of choices.
Front Right: 35 psi
Front Left: 41 psi
Rear Right: 48 psi
Rear Left: 39 psi
I couldn't believe it. Thought for sure my gauge was faulty. Went straight to a servo with an digital air compressor and turns out the numbers were accurate.
I decided to set them all on 37 psi to see how it goes. I pulled out of the servo and I couldn't believe how much smoother the ride was. All this time I figured it was just the stiffness of the suspension, but now it's perfect.
today i got a set of Marangoni Zeta Linea's put on. 205/40R17. cost me $204/corner fitted and balanced from JAX Quickfit tyres here on the Gold Coast. feel so good, pretty much all my traction issues are gone both on the launch and turn in . yet to try in wet weather. amazing what a quality set of tread can do. hopefully pics soon.
