Long awaited (since it took forever to get parts) driving impression:

- No noticeable NVH difference driving through town, which I'm happy about since stiffness was added with the LCA bushing and subframe.
- Steering is a little bit heavier, but you'd have to pay attention
- Not much else

Then I looked down and saw that the car had been put in Eco mode by the shop!

Back to Normal mode...

Steering now heavier but solid feeling

NVH still not there

ok, cool...passes the wife test.

Time for onramps!

WOW! I can take these MUCH easier than before. The car now leans into the turn and doesn't resist it. Seems like more dynamic camber is at play now somehow? You turn and the car just dives in now, instead of the car pushing against the steering angle.

The seat bolsters are not enough anymore! I was sliding out of the seat haha

Ok, hop on the highway... as I go faster in speed, steering becomes more precise. When I do a lane change, the car just darts to the lane, there isn't a moment of easing in.

Steering is now flatter, more responsive, a touch heavier. The front end now just dives into turns without any effort.

I've never had a mod change a car's character as much as this has. The Golf R... the front heavy Golf R... now turns and wants to grip up front. This car is FIXED.

Thank you Karsten Schebsdat!
