Thanks Mike! 👍🏽

[@mikegomez4756]

No problem!👌🏼 did you bond the CS spoiler to the car with adhesive or did you just use the 3m adhesive tape? 🙂

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Just adhesive tape, pretty strong

Eibach very good, I've had them on a number of cars but I can't help notice how these feel so OEM everyday yet offer great handling through bends. With Eibach I did find they felt like you knew they were an aftermarket spring. That's not a bad thing either.

how the sound proofing in the mk8 compared with 3 series, much more road noise?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Depends on which model 3 series you're referring to. Compared to my G20 320d, the GTI is louder (in a good way) the 320d was quieter as it had better sound deadening and was equipped with acoustic glass (optional). I think if you compare it to a 320i or a 330i, the 3 series would still be quieter as it's a higher quality car and class above the Mk8 Golf overall.

@@DownShiftThrottle yes 330i, got 7,5 now and thinking about g20 swap, start do loads of motorway runs and starting get tired of tyre noise at golf.

Do you declare these mods to your insurer and does it affect your premium much?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Yes. Not worth not declaring. Doesn't make a huge difference
