Lol

Lucky they are eye candy because they certainly cannot sing, but funny anyway.

Picked up sets today

 

[Ozstung]

Tomorrow for me.

Anyone Tee'd up their install yet.

 

[OliverNuther]

Mine arrived today as well. Can’t complain about delivery time. It was about 2.00 Pm yesterday when John rang to say they were ready to go and they lobbed on my doorstep in Brisbane at 12.30 today.

Got mine today, great overnight service.
If it doesn't piss down rain I'll put mine in on Saturday or Sunday should be done in an hour.

Good luck with that on the rear, I believe the bracket near the fuel intake is very difficult to get to. Getting mine done by Dealer on Wednesday, said 10 minutes to do front but not sure about rear. Will only charge for time on rear and I've got a discounted hourly rate.

Not if you have the right tools for the job, the proximity of the fuel intake is not an issue.

Installed yesterday all good the rear is not that bad really you have to remove the wheel arch lining and the fuel filler pipe then it's easy, for the extra 5 minutes to do this it's a no brainer. For the record it took me about 1 hour to do the rear and about 30 minutes to do the front on the ground on jack stands, and this included jackingup up the car.

The change in the cornering stability is incredible, it feels flat now instead of like a rolling boat, but also still compliant so as not to feel like a hard edge track car. It feels like a GT car should.

The wheel tramp if you turn off the traction control and stability control in straight line or cornering is all but gone.
The behavior I described before as "nervous under acceleration out of a corner" is completely gone with or without traction control on or off.

I genuinely don't think the front sway bar is required if you don't intend to track the car, the rear fixes all the issues in my opinion, but I'm happy I did both as I will take the car on track days. I did go for a 30 minute drive with just the rear, and it was perfectly fine.

Probably the best mod you could do to this car if you like "spirited" driving which is bloody hard to do in our police state.

I've set mine to the soft setting for now but it only takes 10 minutes to change to hard.

Totally agree with your comments, I’ve also been saying the best mod for this car since I had mine installed in Oct.18.
Now take it to another level & add F&R Whiteline Heavy Duty End Links...

I posted a walk-through on the installation thread, check it out, it really wasn't that bad, longest part was figuring out the tricks, not the actual work itself.

On the other side of the planet, but also just got my springs and front sway in yesterday, now just waiting on rear endlinks and I'll have a full set!

I must admit I didn't really look for any walk-through or instructions, machines just come apart in front of my eyes, I annoy all my friends and family because I can work on and/or fix anything.

Yeah I know the Whiteline end links, (fine Australian Company) I had a lot of their suspension bits on my old Subaru, but for day to day road use and the odd track day the links are not required. If I was going to club race the car then yes, I'd be doing adjustable end links and maybe some caster adjustment on the front, although the handling characteristics of the car with just a sway bar are very good.

To each their own.

Agreed, im very happy with just the rear sway compared to stock, now to see if i can make it handle like my GTi

 

[itguy61]

So it was not difficult removing the fuel filler stuff and the liner? If not, very good idea!

I agree, this mod is a significant improvement. I felt the car was even uneasy feeling in long sweeping curves before as well. Not any more, even lane changes feel better. The car feels more agile and stable now.

Which GTi?

Wheel arch lining has 8 or 9 plastic push fit rivets, 4 Phillips head screws and 3 plastic 12mm nuts, then it just drops out. its made of a flexible fibrous plastic so it's pretty easy to get in or out.
Fuel filler pipe has 1 screw type hose clamp (big pipe near sway bar saddle), 2 spring hose clamps (small breather pipe near big pipe at the sway bar saddle), and 1 at the top of the filler pipe (into a carbon canister up inside the wheel arch behind the fuel filler) and 1 squeeze type plastic hose clip (again into the top of the carbon canister in the wheel arch). 1 x 10mm nut and a pipe saddle holding a plastic pipe from the fuel tank to the carbon canister on the fuel pipe assembly, this needs to be removed to separate the plastic pipe from the fuel pipe assembly, the plastic pipe can stay in place. 2 x 10mm nuts (holding the fuel pipe assembly to the wheel arch), and then pull the bottom of the fuel pipe assembly toward the outside of the car and twist counter clockwise and it falls out. The hardest part is getting the small hose near the sway bar saddle back on the small pipe of the fuel filler, I used a small squirt of WD40 to help it slip on the small pipe, then the clamp needs needle nose pliers to apply.

For the record it took me about 1 hour to do the rear and about 30 minutes to do the front on the ground on jack stands, and this included jackingup up the car.

It takes me 30 mins to get car on the jack stand.

Mainly because I use factory jack. I should get a floor jack.

Already did back sway last month and planning to do front soon. Will keep both on soft. Then planning to try front soft and rear hard.
