Upgrading the mk5 VW Golf GTI chassis and brakes!! 

You need to hit the lower control arms with a wire wheel to knock off surface rust. Then apply a product like POR15. Works well. UK cars get crushed with rust

you need to use a different nut for the ball joint the part number is WHT000785 because the alloy hubs and steel hubs use different ones

Theres quite some play between the control arm bracket and subframe. I rekon that kit wouldve worked if you fitted with all bolts for steering,arb, control arm etc loose.

What a transformation Joe the hard work has paid off , your car is stunning 👌👋👋

Brilliant work looking amazing All your hard work is paying off It’s going to make it a pleasure and fun to drive. Superb Vdub:) Thank you

get the tyrol sport dead set kit i have a spare one if you’re interested

Thanks for the great vid joe keep up the good work looking mint 👌

Bushings should always be torqued with the car on the ground and suspension loaded. Otherwise they are going to twist and wear out really fast

need new bolts for the control arms there stretch bolts

Its beginding too look good 😮😮

Nice job

Nice job thanks fir the information what would you say the problem is with mk5 loosing coolant???

I am trying to fit them same brakes to my mk5 GTI but having problems with the the rear caliper carrier not being able to tighten down due to the carrier hitting the disk before it’s tight do you think you could help me by giving a link from where you got the rear disks from or a part number I think they might of gave me the wrong disk thanks 👍

How much do you think you saved on labour

Which make of deadset kit gave you the issues ?
