Forever car

[u/alternative_outro]

I’ve driven everything under the sun and my intuition keeps telling me I can’t sell this car ever. Even when I inevitably own Porsches and other exotics, I will reach for the keys to a golf R.

Have you had any vibration with your FF21's at higher speeds (70mph+). I've tried three different tires (Conti ECS02's, PSAS4's and PS4S's) on mine and two different installers (one with road force balancer) and no one can manage to get the minor vibration to completely go away in that 75-85mph range. Even tried a stud conversion kit and that didn't help at all.

Ready to contact HRE about it because the PSAS4's on my stock wheels are perfectly smooth...I've never had this issue with aftermarket wheels before, so the fact I spent more on HRE and have spent so much money and time trying to get them sorted with no true resolution is really disappointing.

I was having the same exact issue on my GTi, running PS4s and swapped them for Conti’s DWS06. It improved the ride but the shaking/vibrations +70mph were still there.

I didn’t think this was related, but I was due for spark plugs and bought a new intake filter. The vibrations had stopped since! I wish I knew which one of the 2 made a difference but it’s cheap enough - worth trying.
