Will the 8 pots fit under the rims?  I have to say I'm in love with the rims.

Bracket bushes are in stock.  Price is 30 quid.  2 quid to post those.  If you have the metal bracket then it needs removing and the bushes pressing in,  but they can be fitted in situ with the plastic bracket.

Turinis have been sold now, Need 19's for daily but I was still not happy getting rid of them

Ive still have over 40mm of thread left on the coils too. If your wanting to go low you'll need to get some custom H & R's like I did as I wanted it really low for shows & raised for daily.

The porsche is stupid Steve took me out again a few weeks ago & with the Vbox attached we managed best 0-100 in 5.8 secs & 0-60 3.2 hahahahaha :laugh: I want one

Not often I hear "Need 19's for daily..."  :laugh: :happy2:

No, just track low chief. There are too many impracticalities with my daily drive/living to go silly low. The AP's are just below halfway at the moment so some room to play with.

Looks like it's GTR pace. I'd love to see it versus one on track  :driver:

Ye loads of space as they are bbs motorsport wheels that are fitted to race cars with big brakes & I tried the turini which have alot less space over the setup I want and there was still room.

Ill get in touch soon then as I want them, the black caps & some superpro bushes, You dont know how much the Miltek decat pipe is for mine do you? I know Steve can get me one but would be nice to know how much they are

If you are after a cheap bush kit minus the console bushes then have a chat with berg.  He has a brand new kit from me that he will sell at the gb price.  I've been trying to setup with milltek since I started AKS.  I can order, but only by phone.  Steve is sorting out the online dealer section for me as Charlie has been,  well Charlie.

What are the wheels exactly from and are they direct fitment?

Ok thanks, Not sure what they were originally from but I bought them from a 400bhp mk4 golf that had them fully rebuilt & was on the car for one 400 mile trip. The wheels are 5x114 so jap fitment but with wobble bolts they are fine

Stunning just doesn't cover that, my dream wheels. Was hovering over them on edition for ages but funds never allowed.

Fair play mate, great to see such an all rounder.

I would love for you to keep posting. I went for the white gti over a white s3 after months of decision making! Looking at yours...well its just awesome. Soooo nice. Please keep posting and working on her. She clearly has a fantastic owner.

Can I ask please, you've obviously got the car dropped and you've got some quite big rims on. Do the tyres touch the shock absorbers? I want to drop my gti at the back a bit more but can't too much simply because the rims I have would rub! I even have spacers on but they still would rub. Just wondering if you have come across this at any stage?

Thanks, It all depends what width & et your wheels are. Also it could depend on your suspension as with my bilstein suspension it was really close but with these custom H & R & adjustable top mounts it isnt but I did have to use a 5mm spacer on the front to clear the strut but only because the wheels are 9" all round

love the wheels  :driver:

Thanks

Excellent thank you. I think i'm just going to plough on and lower the thing. If it rubs i'll change it. I've had to change the set up to put my wheels on anyway being 9.5 at the front and 8.5 at the back. Cheers.
