Hi Jordan,

The bilsteins have been in there for a few years now in their current form. I previously ran some custom Capri struts with bilsteins before these

Cheers,

Phil.

They are awsome They were custom valved to suit the corner weights of the car. The handling is second to none and works well at both Oran Park and Eastern Creek. Im keen to get back out there and try it again...I'm expecting to run in the 1min40's at Eastern Creek now courtesy of the extra grunt and rear end improvements

Yeah, it gets like that, lol. I've got my eye on a Brembo set for my Territory that sells on ebay from time to time. About 5g i think.

No playing with modded Golf's for a fair while. I bought a Mark 5 GTi new back in 05 and only kept it for 3 months. Got an offer for 5g more than I paid so that was good. Wasn't that impressed with them overall. Nice gearbox, but too damn heavy.

I will get another Mark 1 someday. Will put a DSG box in if possible.

My project at the moment is my Territory (Family and Tow Car). Got Goodridge Braided lines i'm fitting this long weekend and then will get some DBA slotted Rotors and good pads.

Got a Heavy Duty Tow Bar and transmission cooler on their way next month. Looking around for a car trailer too if you know anyone selling.
I may end up putting a Turbo or Blower on it, but I am sorting out the safety side first, this time around.

You up for a catch up this weekend? Send me an email.

PS. I got a Liberty for my company car, its a POS. But thats another story.
