Just wanted to check and see if others have run a 255 tire in front and if so, what offsets and profiles it was done with. I have a 17x9 +35 front wheel I'll be using and was hoping a 255/40 would fit without rubbing. This is with eibach springs. Thanks, Brian

Is there any dyno data comparing a rerouted DDP and open DDP to a standard 3" DP? I'm wondering if the downstream merge of the two flows (turbine and WG flows) will cause more turbulence than a standard 3" DP which merges the flows at the opening. Just looking for comparison numbers on these...

I'm looking for opinions on the ground control spring perches (threaded, adjustable) that are offered for the mk3. These are the ones that are added to shocks, not already a coilover set.

I've done some searching and have seen differing answers. Does anyone know of a minimum offset required for a 17x10 rear to fit on a lowered suspension? I bought a set of race wheels in 17x8.5 & 9 but have found they're also offered in 9.5 & 10 so I plan to sell the 8.5 and use a 17x10 rear if...

I have the chart that someone (Jeff G?) put together comparing swaybar features/ratings. I'm looking for feedback if anyone has compared the various models for the mk3 before I start doing this myself. I have the ST bars now but am looking a Tanabe or whiteline for the front and likely whiteline...

Would anyone else be interested in a auto-x/track (roadcourse) forum in this section? I know a few folks used to do this but not sure if they still do. This is the only section I visit at the brand X site so I thought maybe we could use one here.

Does anyone know if there are camber plates available for the mk3? I realize the JIC arms are available but it seems they are race only spec (as in far too much neg. camber to be used on the road. I am only able to get -1 deg. on the front settings and looking for 2-3 deg. Thanks, Brian W

I'm looking for opinions on various seats and whether or they fit the mk3 comfortably. Has anyone used the Corbeau FX4? It isn't the lightest fixed seat but is SFI rated and more affordable than Sparco offerings. I'm also looking at the Sparco EVO2 and a few adjustable models. How uncomfortable...

I've read some reviews but really without a similar vehicle they aren't much good. I was curious if others have used these and whether you feel they're worth the cost? Was braking during a course more consistent? I'd love a BBK but can't afford it with other necessary upgrades I'm finishing, I...

I have seen ARP offer replacement wheel studs for various vehicles. Has anyone found a set to replace the stock studs for the mk3? I was thinking that with the cycles (mileage and years if torque/retorques) on the current studs it may not be a bad idea to consider replacing them. Since I like to...

Has anyone dealt with these parts before? http://www.a1racing.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=35 They offer some traction arms, toe links and end links. There are no pics of the end links or toe links but I was wondering if anyone else has tried them? Thanks, Brian W

I noticed tonight that the vac. port on my SSQV was loose. I went to remove the clamp for the vac. line and the port pulled out of the BOV housing. Has this happened to anyone else? It appears it just fits tightly and has some sort of sealer to prevent air leaks. Just wanted to see if this...

I'm looking for opinions of those that have used these bores. Block is a virgin and I bought .040 JE's because I wanted the slight increase in displacement, thinking it might help low end TQ. What are you're opinions, should I go with .020 and have that much of a stronger block? I'm planning for...

For those using the ZT@ to datalog, are your rpm points accurate? I have the signal (green) coming from the ignition signal to ecu and the scaling in the software is set for 6 cyl. but my data show 7k-7.5k at times where as I haven't reved higher than 5.5k. Has anyone else had this problem? Any...
