    Solid alloy top mounts, too stiff and wore out within a year.

    Poly snub mount, they keep coming off, and dont work as well as the OE rubber.

    A cone filter to my 7A, unbelievable noise, but unbelievably noisy.

              Cone filter is about it, everything else has either worked or I've gotten used to it... original exhaust was too quiet.

                My biggest regret is buying the so called great Porsche 996 mono block brakes. Have been the biggest pain in my *** since the day I fitted them .

                        None....

                        Haven't fitted that much... Did consider Coil-Overs but after doing lots of research and peoples comments I gave it a miss...

                        I have just had fitted some Eibach Pro Springs and Boge Turbo Dampers to my MK2 Golf and its 100% better than stock... smoother and 30mm lower - So I would look at the same for the S2 assuming you can get the parts....

                          My exhaust is already suffering, ad thats just the state of the roads round here. Drop it 30 mm and I'll loose the subframes

                          Not on the S2 but had an old Mk2 Chavelier, SRi exhaust was a big mistake, but I know better now. (I'll buy ear defenders)

                            I wouldn't drop the height of the S2 as I think its spot on as it is... IMO

                            The Best Mod fitted was the 996 Calipers and 323mm Discs... Sooooo Much Better...

                              Came fitted to my car 3" turbo back exhaust. I love the noise but on a day to day basis I think it's a bit annoying and makes me look a **** something I don't need help with!
