But all that is needed is granny driving when you are cruising to pick up bitches Bam, don't you know that?

Oh, I see, they have to drive because their passengers are all dogs. Got it.
Me, I prefer the girls that like going fast, they tend to be more 'adventurous' and 'open-minded'. Also, I can't seem to find any girls on youtube having fun whilst being driven slowly or sensibly or quietly.

IMO, other than the stock car at the top they all look like the suspension has collapsed to me.

[dubbed_up_daz]

Hahahaha, holy <beep> youd think I was going to run it on the ground and destroy the arse off it like a 1k a4. What about winding your necks in and see what I do with it before continuing the age old lowered cars dont handle nonsense. This car will be used to its potential far more than you think. Never had such a judgemental welcome anywhere.

Naturally!! If you lower the potential, then you'll use more of it!!

Never had such a judgemental welcome anywhere.

And you ain't even been welcomed by Baku yet - doubtless he'll be along in a while!

Please confirm, do you get no arch scrubbing, bottoming out etc ever? I have wide, flush fitting rims/tyres and mine isn't scraping its butt along the ground. Without having my arches rolled and flared at the front and rolled at the back if memory serves (can't remember if nothing could be done with the rears), I scrubbed all over the place to the point that it was feeling dangerous.

The Scoob was beyond stupid, running massive amounts of camber to try to control the scrub, yet within seconds of getting in it, I would be scrubbing the arches and bouncing across the road as a result of it. Got rid of that slammed crap, still running lowered but not scraping its butt across the ground and I can now drive it far quicker.

Daz, feel free to bring one of your cars to the ADI event and track it, better yet, stick one of us in the passenger seat so we can't feel/hear any scrubbing/bottoming out for ourselves as well as no spine-jarring dampening . After that, some nice backroad driving may be in order to confirm .

Personal preference and all that blah blah but if you have to make compromises driving a car, doesn't make sense to me and In have bought enough chavved up, slammed cars to know what works, they ALL got corrected in the height/suspension department.

All being well my arches are being sorted this weekend. I'm on stock height and the wheels scrub like buggery

[Mr Footlong]

Who is doing them? I had the front flared slightly for good measure.

The problem with all of your 'contenders' is they're static pictures. Now drive all of those cars around Millbrook and push to their limits, I'll take the stock car, thanks. Don't like Millbrook? Ok, lemme pick some nice A and B roads and we'll see what happens.

I like the look but 'the look' destroys the engineering, you take a performance car and cut its balls off. You can't drive fast on bags, you compromise braking/acceleration/ride/handling being overwheeled and the abilities of a performance car are severely limited when attaining the kinds of static drop in the photos above, it's retarded. You end up driving like a granny because you've got the perfect stance, is that what you want from your RS?

The 6 aint a track car or a B road basher.
Its perfectly fine driving it on fast roads with that drop, as long as ur widths and offsets are sorted

Ill bring the green mk1 along to a track day no problems, its getting an audi engine anyway. The brown mk1 vr will beat my 6 on any b road snd most a's and my jetta coupe will be the slammed show pony so that pretty much leaves the 6 for general use, my weekend glam car, family outings and occasional tow car if a track is to far away to justify driving the green mk1.

Yet my car will go down any old B road, and it regularly does. It seems that yours can't, it's a car, it can drive on any road, unless you've compromised its core functions... that's a really odd way to prove your point.
Ironically, those overwheeled dropped cars would ride better on a track, however, the Millbrook Alpine course is an almost perfectly surfaced closed A road with great sighting, hairpins, banked curves, dips and crests. It's a representation of a great driving road, yet there's you, driving like a granny along an amazing road, holding everyone up like a chump. Not that you'd ever drop one of your cars like this, you just talk the talk. We've all seen your 'dropped' 6, it looks like Peter Crouch against the type of cars you promote.
Golf, walk the walk or pull up your pants.

Lmao. Did you look at pictures of my six? I've had it a fortnight...the h+r coils I inherited(which I will bet are an improvement over standard especially combined with the hotchkiss) have seized adjusters and the car sits high and arse down which I know doesnt help the supposedly improved suspension but even like that its still 'capable' of going down any road at a decent rate but why would I abuse it down a b-road when I have an almost purpose built car that would annihilate the 6 on a back road even when the suspension is properly dialled in? Plus I have another mk1 primarily for track use that will beat my 6 in any given situation other than top end so why shouldn't I compromise slightly on a car that im never going to use seriously on the track?

[Daveperc]

This car will be used to its potential far more than you think.

means

leaves the 6 for general use, my weekend glam car, family outings and occasional tow car

I think you may be missing some of the potential there!!

[dubbed_up_daz]

Ive had it a fortnight, done 3k+ miles, its seen 186 on a closed section of motorway,180 on a closed section of a-road and various jaunts on various b and even c roads....I hardly think im not exploring its capabilities. The point that seems to be being missed is I have other cars that are more suited to certain conditions so why should I be concerned how it copes with a b-road? Its not designed to be bashed down a b-road at 100% (not my 100% anyway) its a motorway destroyer, its a supercar crusher, its for battering effortlessly from one end of the country to the other and thats what ill be mainly using it for.

I ain't directing my rants at you. You'll know when I am, I'll tell you to up your pants.
