yes i have been driving one since march 09, it was stock till june this year lol........
anyways K04 means stage 3 right? why did you say stage 2? are you still driving one? which one is your ride? laugh.gif

which one is the best for high speed stability?

for my case long story, i installed 4 new F1A2 on may. felt weird at high speed. felt like being pushed by the wind easily, more floaty. compared previous PS3 and before that CSC2......went to workshop change absorbers until rm2.8k also same cry.gif just remapped somemore cry.gif

so in finding the culprit what i did
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

now front CSC5 50% with rear F1A2 80%.

in my house now got
1x CSC5 50%,
1x CSC5 50% with bulge
2x F1A2 80+%
taking up spaces sweat.gif
modded GTIs are known to go for that speed, on the speedo la.. gps somewhat lower tongue.gif u need good aerodynamics for that speed

K04 turbine kit set is not stage 3 my friend, it's the bigger turbo setup compared to the original turbo setup. Stage 3 REVO is whereby I remapped the ECU for my ride. I sold my GTi last year for my initial plan to get a MK5 R32 but dropped the idea as got other commitments to go ahead with.

What I've experienced for super high speed tires, it's still Continental Sport Contact 3 which fairs slightly better butt feel compared to CSC5.

29x km/h???? u drive F1?

As phas3r stated, remapped & tuned Golf GTis are known to achieve that kind of speed & some even passed 300 km/h mark if your balls is big enough to go with. That's why we as these GTi owners will only go for the ultra high performance tires that we can afford most to be fitted onto the rides. cool2.gif thumbup.gif

butt feel..... more surefooted? suspension should be stock standard? altho i doubt it since youre stage 3 already haha. brakes as well.

what do u think of 17 vs 18" in terms of stability ?

youre right. no compromise when it comes to tires. spent too much money on it already and yet it looks stock sweat.gif
theres a guy with stage3+ mk5 300hp with only nexen n8000 tires. but the rest modded to the max la.
Yes, more surefooted based on my butt feel. My MK5 GTi's suspension is not stock for sure since I've upgraded to a bigger turbo kit & braking system. I fitted a set of KW adjustable shocks for my ride that time. A little correction, my previous MK5 GTi is running with Stage 2 REVO remap & NOT stage 3.

Well, honestly for me...... I would prefer 17" for my GTi but originally the car came with 18" Caractere CW1 wheels which I was itchy got it swapped with 19" CW1 then after 6 months, a set of BBS.

I just couldn't understand some owners who modded every single thing on their ride's performance but shod a set of cheapo tires onto it. Simply a stupid suicide move to do so. shocking.gif shakehead.gif

I still would like to get myself a MK5 R32, check this unit out which I found in Mudah.my: http://www.mudah.my/Volkswagen+Golf+A+R32-15104760.htm thumbup.gif cool2.gif brows.gif

Eh you are running csc5 now? On what ride ?
Y dont u use 17 then? Cant fit them bbk's?
Haha.. Using this kind of car.. Money cant stop coming out.. Mine stage 1 and got poisoned for brakes, downpipe etc..

R32.. Very rare car and very beautiful sound.. But it is much slower than mapped gtis.. Heavy too.. Wont go fast unless u put turbo or sc
Yes, I'm running CSC5 on my Audi B7 A4 2.0TFSi. U got it right whereas the BBK are restricting me to fit in 17" instead of 18". Just recently purchased the Audi for my weekend ride & considering a Peugeot 308 THP for my missus to replace her current ride. cool.gif

MK5 R32 is slightly slower in terms of acceleration compared to GTis BUT when it comes to high speed, muahahaha...... that's where the R32 excels in with its V6 3.2L coupled with the amazing DSG. Simply breathtaking as drove a souped up unit which belongs to my cousin in Penang. icon_rolleyes.gif rclxm9.gif
