all this made the xsi a grand total weight of 1160kgs
the stock gti6 came in at 1220kgs
the scales at my work place only go in 20kg incriments so the above is not super accurate by any means.
the xsi does handle a lot better in the corners compared to the gti. steering feels lighter and more connected too, less wallowy. just hasnt got the power, or the noise.
i figure i could get the same feeling but without the weightloss/butchery with a suspension upgrade. i have a cheap set of coilovers+topmounts+bearings ready to go but im not so sure if i should get something better.
