    It isn't as big a step up as Stage 1 was but it is still noticably different (better)
    Boost comes on earlier and power delivery just kicks you in the back from about 1750RPM

    True, I got the down pipe in today. I'm having major traction problems in third, being that I'm FWD..I thought these 19's with 245's would hold better....before stage 2 and dp I used to have to shift at 5200-5400 rpms because there was no power there. Now I shift at 6200 and it still pulls nicely up there. The top end that stage 2 opens up is amazing. When the next gear engages it really kicks and hits hard....

    That's the bit that makes me smile.
    The kick in the back when you power off!

    The Torque figure also increases so you have about 400Nm to play with which allows you to crawl around when need be but also to tear off if you want to.

    I have traction problems with AWD around corners but i think that comes down to learning how to drive hard properly.

    Ok that's good to know, any problems with the car since the springs were fitted - any rubbing or camber issues?

    How much of a drop did you achieve with the Eibach's?

    You will not have any rubbing issues with just springs. Even with 20's.

    No issues at all mate...unless its on super heavy load then it will rub going over speed humps.
    On eibachs for rear its a 2" drop,front its an inch n a half drop...its definitely a good upgrade on handling point of view especially speeding into corners...looks great too!!

    If I were to go lower I personally wouldn't go lower than 25mm so I wonder who offers that amount of drop. H&R maybe?

    40mm is quite extensive on just sorings and I'd be worried about hitting the bump stops so it would probably be wiser to uprate the shocks too or get coilovers as many people do.

    Mine still have 35mm gap for the front and 55mm gap for the rear...i've been told H&R rides even lower than eibachs springs...correct me if im wrong...
    But if my tig doesn't comes with DCC/ACC,i would have gone for coilovers as well...most complete n balance setup

    It is a suspension upgrade whereby you can set the damping rates of the suspesnion components from inside the car (i.e. comfort, notrmal and sport)

    Thanks V for the explanation to Naresh bout the DCC thing..
    Next up for me is the whiteline front & rear swaybars and APR stage1...
    i've Made an appointment meeting APR tuners next tues,would appreciate if any of u who is on APR Stg1 kindly to give me any heads-up before committing...yes it requires benchtuning,but its a risk i willing to take after hearing n seeing good reviews so far. but the question is,what is the thing i need to watch out for after chipping it? ie coil-packs,ABS pump,sparkplugs?
    As for swaybars,the set i've ordered comes with 4settings for front n 2settings for rear. as mine is a 4motion spec...what settings do you all reckon would give the best balance n handling? i've heard soft for front n hard for rear...any good? just kinda worry it would induce understeer with the wrong setup...btw,the bars are both 24mm front n back...cheers!!

    Looking good Gary the ABT grill is better than the Mk1 version. Are you going to paint the VW badge black because I think that would finish it off? I'm going to buy a spare and paint mine to match the grill as I feel that much chrome on a large badge stands out too much.

    Also what did you use to tint the rear lights? It's on my list of things to do but I was probably going to mask out the central rings so as not to affect light output.

    Yes..still thinking other ways of playing with the VW batch...will definitely do something to it...haha!!
    The rear lights are wrapped with smoked vinyl...cost me AUD20...love d contrast of black on white...but my friends told me after smoking d rear lights its more of a "Bad Ass" look now...still considering whether to take it off or not...haha
