You're saying you can't just cut down the OE battery and that's right. Sag is proportional to capacity. Would need a purpose-built battery with higher series voltage to compensate for the increased...

Your earlier posts said you were getting significant throttle lag and was hoping to reduce it with future mods. Seems like you've done those mods -- any conclusions?

I'm familiar with all that. Don't expect to match them on a budget. For my purposes close enough will do. What I mostly got from them is proof of concept.

Seems like a major issue with putting a V8 spec'd suspension on a 2.0T is the front of the car would sit higher. And that was referenced above.

The B14 coilovers are adjustable height. Put the...
