Yes big ones, you can increase camber-better cornering and castor-even better turning into the corner. Probably less adjustable than existing Ground Control because both are adjusted sinultaneously and on Ground Control separatelly-easier to do but KW ones has sealed closed ball bearing-no dust comes in and preserves its function longer and also teflon ring that I expect to eliminate doing doing sound when turning steering wheel because of spring and alu cap rotating and causing noise, now it should be gone. Will update you after mounted. With lowering caps you have only stiffer upper Hood and less to press coil-longer suspension and coil-less compressuon on spring and shock but nowadays all the shocks are height adjustable without affect on spring height so only stiffer hold of shock you have and no camber castor adjustement which is crucial for direct and precise steering and handling or track use. My car is Like go cart plus precise with R32 steering rack only 2.5turn- but to direct on high speed-missing progresivne servo💪

VibraTechnics Street performance (not Racer) engine and gearbox mount are on their way so while replacing the clutch from Sachs performance to SPEC stage 3+ why not to change them to when all is exposed???

In your dreams perhaps, RAL 5002 is Ultra-marine blue.

Ok, doesn't matter how you call it😉, main thing is that's the right one I've been already using for other parts like gerabox etc. 

But tnx for pointing it out👍💪, just corrected it😇.

Glad you view  it, but you also migt  give some like it for the biggest and by far most detailed Octavia project blog-over 116k views 💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sorry, posting for views and likes is an alien concept for me, I give the various like/thanks/love it whatevers in response to what people have written/posted.

 

I notice that you have quoted yourself and asked yourself a question, what is all that about?

 

Re the RAL colours someone is selling a tin of RAL 9010 because it is creamy white despite the RAL term being "Pure white" if you look at the colour images on Google they vary from yellowy cream through off white to brilliant white, there is a similar colour variation in your RAL 5002, suppliers may get their stuff powder coated in a RAL colour but then use a different description like Racing Blue, I understand that but not the huge variations in what should be standardised colours.

I did:t expect you to get so excited "in your dreams" about colour name, and to react Like this, you could simply correct me or ignore it. The point is that the colour is great and perfect looking up to my aesthetic standards in my engine bay and will do so further on  with those mounts being painted. I don't expect anyone to Like it or comment because I very well know that's a piece of art regarding complexity of build and tuning, commitment to details, quality of work, invention, production , function etc so I really don't care what is the right Google or paintshop name for that colour. You've missed the point and being to aggresive for my taste with such a comments. If you do not like what I am writing just ignore it please and spare me of such a tutoring, ok?.

Have a nice day.

Pot, kettle, black.

 

The only reason that I replied was your appeal for me to "give you some like for it"

 

I dont know why you think that I dont like what you write, its simply that some of it I have difficulty understanding.

 

I would like to know why did you quote yourself and ask yourself a question and also what is the point I have missed?

They are the same as my old Ground Control that was the first one to make them.

Here is the pinion shaft brace which allows for 800hp-tested,and my internals are already reinforced. If you go back to my gearbox assemblly in Cacak Serbia, 10 or more Pages back you can see it 

Edited 14 March by davojuri

[davojuri]

That means i Will have clutch and gearbox capabble of 700Nm plus, ready for the last step: forged,stroked, CNC ported, ceramic coated, big turbo, new engine. 

Thinking about driveshaft upgrades 500 or 1000hp from Driveshafts
