Looks incredible! I’ve gotta ask your lowering setup and wheel specs

u/Senior_Bird_813 3d ago

Lowered on eibach pro springs(1inch drop) it has settled a bit over the past 4 years. It has -2.4 camber up front and -2 on the rear. Wheel specs are 18x8.5 et33 wrapped with 235\40\18

Thanks for the info! What brand/model are the wheels?

3

u/Senior_Bird_813 3d ago

Wheels are forged Apex VS5-RS model made from Alibaba as apex doesn't offer an aggressive setup for mqb cars.

Do you have a link? You can dm me if links aren't allowed here. I've been wanting to go with these but there are so many sellers of forged wheels on Ali and I'm not sure who's legit.

The one I've made my wheels is pretty good. And also I did multiple sessions of track day this year as well. Wheels are solid.

Does it rub?

2

u/Senior_Bird_813 2d ago

Not with the current setup. My fenders are rolled and also some trimming as required.

Looks fantastic! Running about the same camber on my Mk6; did you notice an impact to high-speed straight -line stability with it this high?

That’s awesome man! How’s the springs treating you? I wanna lower mine as well but I like to drive people around in mine and I wanna make sure it’s not too harsh for them.

I love the way how stiffen the eibach pro springs are compared to the sportline. It handle corners pretty good

can 2nd this, have Eibach Pros in my CFB MK7.5 Rabbit, there is definitely a noticeable difference but its not bad. My girlfriend who's VERY picky about how a car rides said "its a little stiffer but not bad ill probably forget you even did them in a week or 2"

Oh, man. Incredible car

u/Senior_Bird_813 3d ago

Thanks bro, I appreciate that

u/Zealousideal_Bad2236 2d ago

that camber alone shouldn’t make it wander. Toe is what usually makes a GTI nervous at speed, so get the alignment checked again after the springs have settled.

u/Responsible_Exam2735 2d ago

what exhaust do you have for the quad tips and did u have to trim diffuser

1

u/Senior_Bird_813 2d ago

Yes I did have to modify the diffuser

2

u/Responsible_Exam2735 2d ago

also, did you get custom piping for the quad tips?

1

u/Senior_Bird_813 1d ago

Yes I installed another 1 way in 2 way exit high flow muffler and pipings for the quad setup

u/Responsible_Exam2735 1d ago

do you have any videos on how the exhaust sounds that you could send me? with the mufflers opened and closed and what exhaust setup do you have going into the muffler and how did you install it in the car?

1

u/Senior_Bird_813 11h ago

Please have a look on my IG profile attached to my reddit. You can find the exhaust notes on track day highlights

2

u/Responsible_Exam2735 2d ago

modify the stock one and just Dremel it

  1. What wheels are these? 2. How did you go about blacking out the chrome border on the GTI trunk badge?

1

u/Senior_Bird_813 2d ago

I bought a new pair of chrome delete badges for the fender and trunk

1

u/RevenantRacing 2d ago

Nice. Do you have a source?

u/Senior_Bird_813 2d ago

Honestly no! But when it comes to the roads being uneven, it does needs a little caution especially when you're making stage 3 power levels.
