From last weekend on a shake down drive after getting the Bilstein’s a little more dialed. Raised the front a little bit so it’s now about level with the rear. Fronts are maxed out, can’t make it higher which is a bummer, as I wouldn’t mind being able to raise the car a tiny bit more. Currently I’ve got the fronts set 5 clicks from full soft, and the rear 7 clicks from full soft. So far it’s pretty good, but certainly more tweaking to do, though it’ll have to wait because… currently the car is on jack stands with the front subframe hanging down, working evenings installing a 034 front swaybar to go with the rear, as well as a 034 subframe deadset kit. Showing up Thursday is also a set of Super Pro control arms to add a touch of caster and a little more camber, will get those installed Thursday evening/Friday.
Saturday I’ve got a alignment scheduled at the dealer nearest me (1hr away in Elk Grove, CA), who surprisingly agreed to align it to my specs. In reading what others have done with Golf R’s etc, I’m thinking zero toe front, and a touch of toe in rear. Front camber should be somewhere around 2.5 degrees with the camber arms, lowering and the 034 top mounts, for the rear I’m thinking I’ll have them shoot for 1.7-1.8 degrees. Any input or insight on alignment is appreciated!
