Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

Sounds great mp2811. Im also waiting for my DV+ to arrive to grow with my growing list of mods
Think what is next for me is a BBK or upgraded rotors/pads as i do like to do the occasional track day. No good having the extra power and not being able to stop the car.

Sekas, you have great list of mods! Yep definitley would look at brake upgrade if tracking car. Maybe sway bars too? add bit better handling to your Springs.

Cheers.
Yer there is a couple of things happening behind the scenes with my car sponsor(RD Technik) in terms of car builds so sway bars may be a tax return buy whilst i wait for them to confirm and finish off their current cars (mk6 R and Audi TTS)
Still just weighing up the cost for a BBK or not.

Agree with mp2811, love your mods.Can I ask the benefits you get from the drop links? I have the vwr springs. Cheers

Drop links or sway bar links for me was more for track purposes, by lengthening/shortening them i can more get the car to do what i prefer on the track by playing with them until i feel a good midpoint between oversteer/understeer for my driving style by varying the load on the ARB.
I pasted the link for the VWR brochure which has more details but they recommend it if you have a lowered car and plan on pushing it to its limits.

For those who can speak Spanish if not is good way to see together The golf R and the new Scirocco R side by side, also the difference between the lapis blue and the rising blue

Whats with some people upgrading the DV? What is the reason?
Is this something I need to mention when I get my car tuned at the tuner? (APR stage 1)

I'm new to this car and engine.

Performance wise I'm not too sure but it was quoted that it'll hold the boost more when you're changing gear (manual) in DSG I don't think you'll get too much benefit out of it. I did it because... I was bored. Sound difference was close to none
