Hey adzy,

A few questions for you.......

What size whiteline did you get?
Adjustable or not? I'm thinking about the same for the rear end of my Jetta.
Also, what price & where did you buy from?

Just Bluefin flashed my TDI today..... Yeah Ha!

I just went for the 22mm version which is not adjustable, I figured that the adjustable 24mm bar would be a little too stiff in comparison to the front end... would be great if the front end was sorted also though.

I had the boys from Pedders in South Melbourne order it in for me. Only took two days for it to arrive and I had them fit it as well which cost $254 all up.

As you would have heard "it is" the best suspension mod you can do on a FWD for the dollar. I am wrapped with the results. The car now feels like all its weight is over the front end and mid corner to exit understeer has been majorly reduced.... bit more lift off oversteer too

the car feels 200kg lighter when being thrown into corners now and when powering out of corners it seems as though you have an LSD as the inside wheel doesn't break out into wheelspin as much..... well it hasn't done it once so far.

Mine is sitting in the shop waiting for a new engine... less than 2 year old Jetta TSi (1.4) with a cracked piston head... WTF?

Yeah, that doesn't sound right at all only if they could provide the explanation!

Mine has done the first service at 36,500km and I have done 4 oil changes myself with the Mobil 1 ESP.

The car is not even 1 year until another 2 weeks and it past 39,000km now!

The turbo run full-time at least twice every day.
