Fitting a larger diameter front swaybar (I assume the H&R is) surely increases the understeer? I would have thought you would be better off with just a rear swaybar (ARB), or both front and rear, but certainly not just front?...Roadrunner... wrote:Chassis & Suspension :

H&R front swaybar
Great looking car and nice (thoughtful) choice of modifications.

Whoa. Awesome, just what I want mine to look like. The cup kit suits this car
Though I'd seen another one with just the front and rear bumpers, standard skirts and wheels - looked naff.
I might just settle for the low and phat look.

The H&R swaybar doesn't increase understeer. At least in my case, didn't. It isn't larger also, is is the same diameter as the original GTI one, but it has another shape. I needed the H&R swaybar, to eliminate the knocking that appeared on maximum steering to left or right, after lowering. The steering arms (that exit the steering case, and reach for the wheels) are touching the original swaybar when full steering to left or right is done, and produces a knocking sound. I'm sure that all of lowered GTI have that sound. This is were it camed from. Whit the H&R swaybar, the steering arm gets right around the swaybar, so no knocking
...I have attached 2 pictures, first with the original swaybar, the second with the aftermarket one.

N75J valve fitted... Very nice results !
Instant throttle response, more linear boost, higher overboost...

The standard N75 is very good for standard engines. Mine is remaped, and the standard valve is out of range working with increased turbo boost.whitegtipolo wrote:how does the valve make so much differnce, if so how come its not fitted standard??
The J valve is working very well with higher boost levels... Get it ?
