What did you do to your MkV today?

Christof: Thanks for the photo! Next time I would prefer if you took it in my driveway though

No trophies, no care.

It's silly to upgrade both front and rear sway bars for normal driving conditions in the 2.0/2.5. The purpose of upgrading the RSB is to decrease understeer and keep the car planted, and it does this by stiffening the rear in a comparative ratio to the front. If you upgrade the rear, you'll see this difference, but if you also upgrade the front, you're closing the margin between front and rear stiffness...almost to stock specs.

I dont think I've seen anyone just upgrade the FSB on our cars, but the majority just beefs up their RSB. This is why. Also, the thicker the diameter the bar, idealistically, the more sturdy the feel.

Or because the front is such a pita to change. It does make a noticeable difference. Mostly felt when you go back to the garbage hollow oem bar.

I did this...

Gonna get spacers for the rear?

[vwaudipreferred]

Spun the Racelands all the way down. There was a knocking in the front end so I tightened up everything from the coil over install and cleared it right up.

Driveway shots are better

Pull in your neighbor's driveway and climb on their roof to get a picture. Driveway shot, different angle. You won't.

My front sway bar isn't even connected on either side. It just rattles around every bump.

Try out some fk springs in it. you can go lower since you dont have helper springs on the racelands.

I removed the bra. It was still on from the trip home from h20

[KIDVersion 1]

Pulled the driver front coilover on the wife's R32 and found a bent FK shock body...right at the knuckle. Time to see how their customer service and warranty is.

Filled it up with gas

Installed a relay fog light wiring kit on it, and got my new wolfsburg fog grills on, it looks great now. Also plastidipped the wolfsburg upper grill, and it came out nice and matte.

Got the BFI stage two full transmission mount in the mail today. Going on either tonight or tomorrow.

[afsaturn99]

Called the dealership to make my appointment to fix my cam follower which I believe is broken. Car is misfiring on two cylinders and recently changed all my spark plugs and replace the coil packs. Damn it

Installed the BFI stage two transmission mount.

how do you like it? sorry i never made it to the mkv meet to do the test drive...i also just put in a stage 1 transmission mount a couple days ago and now that it is broken in everything feels solid. also, i put in a short shifter and breather for the valve cover.

[xk1llxy0urselfx]

I may need to do one of these engine mounts. My car constantly feels like a train with horrible slack in it. If I dont go from brake to gas just right it kicks really bad from a stop. Engine sorta jumps around when you start it up.

Well, I did not test drive last night. Just torqued it to spec and pulled it off the ramps. No major difference at idle compared to the mount insert. This morning I drove to work and wow. Huge difference with vibrations in the middle RPMs. I didn't push it (I'm low on gas) but I didn't feel any major improvements with performance. The insert would have probably done the trick for a while, but I just wanted the full set. BFI had their H2Oi sale still going on so I capitalized on that. Got the mount for $20 less than normal.

Did you also have just the insert before? Was your reaction the same? Visually, I like what is there now as well. Haha.

Don't do just one. Doing just one puts added stress on the others and that will cause early failure. Just save up and do them all. At minimum, full engine mount, transmission mount insert, and dogbone insert. It'll definitely clean things up.
