Keep up the good work dude!
Actually the speedo is now dead-on because they are set by VW to under-report actual speed. I do have to apply a correction factor to my odometer though. 10,000 miles on the odometer is actually 10,571 miles now.

What do you mean by wobble? Handling is still very good, even with the taller snow tires. The Koni Reds and stiffer springs make for excellent cornering and handling.
