MOD NOTES
No water injection, 1.5 bar, 222 PS / 367 Nm.
Chassis: 8R knuckles with –2° camber, OEM shocks, and OEM VAQ LSD, which is 99× stronger than the domestic Torsen copies.
AP 9448 racing kit, but the OEM suspension is truly the weak point.
Front AP 9448 + MX72 pads, but the rear only has pad upgrades. Braking bias is too front-heavy, causing excessive nose-dive — OEM suspension also contributes to this.
Only upgraded intercooler.
Chinese semi-new Reden R23, 225/40R18 front & rear.
