Thanks. Appreciate the longer term members will have been here before so thanks for humouring me.
I really enjoy this forum, genuinely helpful and welcoming.

Thanks. I really fancy those Ohlins shocks. Have them on my Golf R

Interesting i find the mk7 Golf R chassis wise amazing straight out the box. Whats it like on Ohlins as you lose the ACC? :?:

The standard dampers give exactly the same ride as DCC set in Normal. The set up is the same. I would use the Comfort setting if I'd had them but never Sport which is ubsuable on UK roads. I knew l would be getting coilers (and upgraded brakes and tuning) hence saving a few quid on DCC.

Thanks for this. I had not appreciated they were the same ride. The body control on the dynamic dampers (not driven passive set up) on twisty roads with crests and dips is frightengly good. Better than most sports cars costing triple the amount. I've never understood why people do not find the R or GTI CS/PP quick. They're 911 fast if driven properly down those sort of roads especially with your goodies :thumbs:

Agreed, one of the fastest UK road cars available. As you say, especially when you get into giving the engine some encouragement with a map and sort the exhaust out.
Steering is a bit dead and there is some lag but other than that pretty amazing for £35k
Still not a Porsche tho!
