silva33

I ordered some super wagons and went to have them fitted today only to have the workshop tell me that I have a fork configuration in the rear setup and the suspension will not fit. He seems to think that I have M35 rear suspension and it is due to an accident in Japan that 'may' have happened. Im pissed as I asked them to check the rear suspension before ordering as mentioned in this thread that it is different to an Auto stagea. Has anyone (RS4S only) got a part number we can use? or does anyone know if the 260rs is the correct choice? I dont think my car has been in any sort of accident as I have had it check previously. I have read that the GTR suspension does fit (with some mods) but then is it the right thing to do or is the wagon to heavy? Thanks for your help.

I vote Sorrento! But am happy wherever we go, Its going to be great having that many Stagea on one cruise

any pics buddy?

18th or 19th is fine with me, I am finally installing some Tein Coilovers next week so I'm very keen to see how they perform!

If not working Ill be in

The deisel Golfs also have DSG I just sold one that my missus had and it was a great gearbox

Here are some pics i just took of the GTR wheels, God does it need to be lowered!!!!!!

I love the look but there is no way that is inside the guard or legal, I just put on R34 GTR wheels last night and ill see if i can upload some pics to show you that there is a little room for going bigger. Up front they look about right but on the rear they look like you could fit something a little bigger. It is an RS4S I dont know if it makes a difference

are there any import places in your area that may have wheels on display? or even on sau you may find someone selling them that you could test fit?

i have been told previously that 9.5 18 + 22 won't fit so I dont like your chances. Test fit them though you have nothing to lose. At the end of all my rims searching i ended up buying R34 GTR wheels at least I know they will fit and later on if I decide to lower it I wont have any issues or need to lip the guard.

what suburb in Melbourne?

Hey buddy what suburb in Melbourne are you? I am very interested..

I have had a HKS 2535 on an R33 and I tried 3 different exhaust combinations and let me tell you the 2535 is a great punchy turbo but it really needs to breath!!! If you can gut the cat and you will never look back, it really does make a massive difference.

Thanks, All I am interested in is lowering it a little and want to keep that stock shocks, I have already spend a small fortune on the motor and dont race the car I just wanted it to sit a little lower to clean up the look. Thanks Dave

Thanks, so just to confirm, To lower my RS4S I will need to order R33 GTR springs? I have been reading up heaps on the suspension thread but there isnt much info on the RS4S Cheers Dave

Are the rear spring different for an RS4S? I remeber reading somewhere that they are different to the standard auto stagea. Thanks

Same, I only use it on a track day scenario. By the way you can buy the Martini stuff from Sabbadin..

Another vote for Sabbadin.. He is near RE. I just got my car back from a dyno tune and I am VERY happy with the results and the way the car drives. I have been going there for years with a few different cars and am very happy with his work.

I used to have the same setup on my R33 and to be safe I would turn the boost down on track days ad also run a quality octane boost. Does it hold 19psi to redline? if it falls off towards the end of the rev range then it may not be to bad. Is the motor built for 19psi?

Happy birthday Guys!!

Hey buddy do you have any pics.. I am super keen on a set for my Stagea. Also is your car lowered and if so by how much? I was thinking about getting R34 GTR wheels and lowering it 30 - 40 mm but am not sure if it will be enough. Thanks Dave

I agree with not going past the 12psi, however a good boost controller may bring that 12psi on harder and sooner which is what I have found testing witht he boost controller on and off. I use a Blitz ID-3 and have on two different motors (one being twin turbo) and have found it to be fantastic on both applications.

As mentioned above, does anyone know specifically what the RS4S offet requirements are? Same as 260rs or Standard Stagea?

Yeay, I found my car outside Sabbadin Automotive..

Do you have any pics on the car from a bit of a distance to see what they look like?
