I don't have any first-hand experience with lowering springs, since I went with a full CROSS coilover setup. It was great because I can adjust ride height independently of shock travel, but considering that most of my miles are on the street and not the autocross course, I probably wouldn't do it again because the CROSS setup is more of a race-only item. Frankly, the ride is pretty harsh on the street and at almost $2400, they weren't cheap.

 

I'm running a boost gauge next to the tach and an oil pressure and water temp in a gauge panel beneath the toggles. The gauges match the factory ones and look stock.

 

Nope.
Jan of RMW was scheduled to do a tune session at a garage here in New England, and I got myself on the list of folks who wanted him to work his magic. Worked out great, very happy with the results.

 

Wow! yeah, I looked into some coilovers, such as the v-maxx, and the hsport touring coils. I think those will be for a later date down the road, so for the time being i might just do the sway along with the lowering springs.

 

Nice! i just ordered a boost gauge actually, and the housing for it. I think one of my friends are going to help me install it. He has a GLI and has the same gauge so he has an idea how to do it.
Did you do yours youself??

 

Do you know if he will be doing any more sessions out here or no??
