R5GTT'S Cars rapid

[AJP]

You'll be fine.

I'm on H&R. Wings are untouched since I got the rusty ones replaced by VW - so I haven't done the arch screw mod. I've never heard/felt it rub, and I do take it down the odd B road once in a while, if you know what I mean.

Visibly, there's bags of room.

I'm 8 wide et44.

You'll be 7.5 et35.

Like @Shoduchi points out, it's a matter of 3mm or so more poke. Easy!

I'm still a little worried as I'll have passengers from time to time and I'm guessing your cars mostly empty 

My tt was 40mm dropped on amax springs so thinking it should be okay and I had 235 40 18 F1 edge rims and it only rubbed on the M1 once going over a dip at ??? MPH although the golf is most likely different so will have to wait and see once all done.

I'm 15 stone myself and I often drive me and my mate Big Harry to the snooker hall. Big Harry is 21 stone. I kid you not.

There aren't any 21 stone ladies in my life, thankfully...

okay o see your point so I'll be fine with the H&R with 12front -16mm rear spacers 

What's your car dropped at mate?.

Yeah you'll be reet. The H&Rs have dropped it about 30mm. I'm considering going for some coilovers soon, to go another 20mm or so lower. I'm confident I could do that with the current width and offset of the wheels and maybe get away with just doing the arch screw mod.

I've done the whole slammed/rubbing thing on the mk4, spent hours messing with shims, spacers, arch rolling and all that, and the current setup isn't even close to causing rubbing problems. There's so much room.

30-35mm is a breeze.

[r5gtt]

That's all o need to know thanks as can't be dealing with faffing about with rolling arches and screw de mods 
Damn you wanna try drive around London with more lower than you are hahaha I was alright with the previous motor so this one should be a breeze although the ED30 splitter does catch on the way down if I don't take it easy

Just read the whole thread, the cars coming along great. Good write up too

thank you very much @JGTTDI still have lots to do and literally just finished doing the t belt water pump and the thermostat 

Ps front 12mm spacers have been fitted too and feels more planted and grippy 

[r5gtt]

A note to myself- t belt and pump were done previous but not sure when although belt and parts look very good and there was tipex marks on the belt and timing area but now done again at 80593 12/02/2017 

[r5gtt]

Sorry guys they're 12mm spacers up front as I forgot the knoob head lied to me about fitment and size  twat he was

[Dave J]

That's good to see - glad you're making progress!

[Shoduchi]

I think you should skim 4 mm off the rear spacers to keep the OEM balance.

Your car is looking great again!
