http://www.pmwltd.com/products.php No "tuning" info there, and not much for the A4 chassis. I found out about these thru the road racing forum on VWVortex. This was after I determined what I needed based on the modeling and went looking then asked on the forum. I havent seen anything similar for the A4, but I didnt see the set I bought until some helpful racers on "road racing" pointed them out.Rabbit Farmer wrote:Where did you get the parts? I have a hard time weeding through the "euro/street tuning" sites and fine VW racing sites where they talk about REAL suspensions instead of "slam it to the ground" where the handling goes out the window. I want to lower my Golf IV, but having a hard time find good information to do it right.
The hardest thing I have had with this is determining what is the best starting setup. I have set the ride height so the control arm and tie rod are about an inch lower at the outside pivot than the inside so I have about an inch of bump where camber goes more negative. I have set the static toe to 0 and camber to -2.0. I ran about -3.0 last year with a bit of toe out but the car was more camber challenged (camber decreased on bump and increased on rebound). I have read the V710 doesnt like a lot of camber (-0.5 to -1.5). I believe I should expect a little toe in on bump (first inch or so anyway) and toe out on rebound based on the ride height and location of the tie rod. I didnt have time to remove the front springs and do a full bumpsteer measure, but I did jack the car a couple inches from static and didnt see much change. At this point I am not sure what the data would mean in terms of feel on the mountain anyway so it time to button it up, start Saturday like this and see how it feels.
