Hottuning club

Car looks great. Can you drive it? or is it getting wound upwards?

As jono said before I did manage to make it up the drive way, getting out this morning I scraped the front bar but I still had a bit more room to get more of a angle, Going out to practice now hahaha. So for time being it will stay at that height

coming home this arvo I have noticed a massive difference in breaking, it stops so much smoother now.

Those words must remain unspoken

I would have to agree with that now lol.

Sweet ride dude!! That looks like it's the same height as mine you'll love the corners hehe.

Keen to see you for a meet-up soon! The car looks mint!

your spot on lol, I found myself hunting for roundabouts today .
I would love to come down for a meet up one day, hopefully some sort of cruz

looks great, how much lower than stock?

That is a good question, myself and a couple of mates have been trying to work it out. I should of measured the stock hight before they were installed, but I forgot.

At a guess 50mm maybe ?

I'm still very keen to get together some people (with Mk3's) with Hottuning coils, KW V2's and any other brands people might have. Would also be good to have a stock setup and maybe a cup kit or two.

The ideal would be to get say five cars one of each type of suspension and then get each person (or one or two independants) to drive each car and rate ride quality, handling, stance etc then to average and graph the results. Even better if people don't know up front what type/brand of kit is under the car.

At the end of the day we would then have a nice little data set showing price/performance of the different types of suspension meaning we could finally put to bed the KW vs everything else debate, even if it means we end up agreeing that KW V2's are king

I've tried to organise it once or twice before but have failed to get enough people.

I do like the idea Aaron, but it is hard to do fairly if you take into account other suspension mods, bushes (old OEM ones or new poly ones), swaybars, tyres and wheels etc

True, but if the testers don't know what they are driving they can rate the package as a whole. Short of getting a single vehicle and swapping bits in and out it's the closest you can get.

The results can then be presented with notes to say vehicle 1 has parts x, y and z.

All else aside, don't most people replace the bushes when they change the suspension anyway? I know I did.

Those bumps @ camdengti are terrible lol. I hate going over them. Car looking good tho

Ill have a weitec 60/40 kit installed soon and will see how it goes. Currently riding on eibachs and oem sachs shocks and the ride is crapola!!!

Ben I'm glad you are stoked on the coilovers as you pointed out the ride is neither harsh or crashy on the mk3. No more roll in the corners
