    I need more tie downs

    Hi All

    I just got my 08 128kw T5 back after having B14 Coilovers installed.

    My goodness - the level of adhesion is phenomenal compared to OEM. The reduction in roll at extremes is remarkable and the reduction in float at highway speeds is exactly what I was hoping for. It is very firm but Ive exchanged bash/crash for firmness - happy with that.

    Dropped it 45mm and it looks good without being ridiculous (YMMV). My business partner has just said I can have his 255/45 20" wheels and tyres as he is upgrading so although I said I wouldn't upgrade from stock 215/65/16 it looks like grip will shortly be further improved.

    Very expensive exercise - would I do it again? - in a heartbeat.

    Best

    Michael

    Sounds like you had a good win with the conversion , we also have the B14's and could not be happier . Just makes the van so much more planted on the road and corners with confidence .
