    difference motor mount/struts

    Picture of back of streo deck?

    Mine is 6 disk only (no tape though). No RCA outputs. RCA outputs are extremely rare on OEM decks. Just use the speaker level inputs on the amp it it has them.

    WTB Mesh Wheels for 02 P5

    just a bit lighter than stock no real fuel savings If you used the same size and offset wheels as stock, handling is unchanged; HOWEVER, changing to larger, wider wheel with a lower profile, performance tire will make a HUGE difference in handling (but you'll get nearly all the handling...

    WTB Mesh Wheels for 02 P5

    "Eibachs" refers to the lowering springs, sorry I wasn't more clear, Eibach makes struts too. The car has Eibach Prokit lowering springs on Tokico HP struts- a popular combo that is a nice balance of ride quality, body control, and performance, without breaking the bank.

    BBS still makes wheels, but the model RK is discontinued. Should run $100-$200 ea. used and $200-$300 ea. new. Not selling. Google shopping shows a few. check tirerack.com for other compatible wheels too.

    XelderX's BG FSP Build

    Was watching your results- couldn't make it this year, and the Scirocco was having issues anyway... It's humbling chasing Mannix, Wenzel and (PAX hammer) Dorsey every event.

    Starting a P5 out right

    "generic" SRI was offered by the same seller with and without the K&N. Adding the K&N added the same amount as buying the K&N separate elsewhere, figured might as well get it with a matched filter.

    Performance Alignment Help

    Agreed Camber: Get as much negative camber as you can manage within the rules of the class you run. You'll have to look up whether crash bolts and camber plates are legal for your class. 1-2 degrees is ok- not ideal, more is better for autox, but 1-2 won't affect tire wear for dd purposes...
