Ade 517 Report post Posted March 24, 2017 2 hours ago, Rich said: Also bear in mind a Golf R has higher drivetrain losses than a GT86 (the extra diffs suck up some power), its probably only about 240 WHP itself and getting on for 300 kg lardier. VW also usually have more power than they quote.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With soft semi slicks you'll probably gain quite a bit as the stock suspention will be heavily on the bump rubbers. Middle: You should look at the RS*S i-sport motospec. These are well known to be very comfortable and capable and monotube. http://www.rs-r.com/coilovers/ http://www.rs-r.com/product/scion-fr-ssubaru-brz-sports-i-coilovers-2012/ Bottom: Golf R is rapid with the REVO it can be around 370hp 0-60 3.7s. Power to weight of the golf R is ~200hp/ton. Yours 220hp/ton.....Revo ~250hp/ton Thanks for that Ade. Those coilovers look delightful but it seems like the cost doesn't quite justify the gains on track that id get on my set up. Looks like the most cost effective way of improving the cornering on track will be grippier tyres followed by camber adjustment mods. If I were to get coilovers though, I'd be looking for monotube like these. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
