Not heard of gnj motorsport. But yes, that's the correct spec. I paid about 640 delivered, can't remember where from though.

GNJ are great. Ive delt with a chap called Graeme in the past. I'd have no problem buying from them. Bought mine (that exact spec you mention) many moons ago from them. Ive just put them back on to sell the car. Plenty of pics in my build thread Id imagine.

Back in the day when I bought them.....



Oh and plenty of room for a BBK, win win!

gorgeous looking car mate.
how much have you lowered it by and what bbk set up mate?

[AJP]

That's 30mm down on H&R, Michelin Supersports, no rubbing.

I'm pre-empting Martin's reply here, but I think that's standard height with TTRS calipers...?

your car looks amazing. will be purchasing the wheels and the springs then. where did you get ur springs from? have any one done the arch screw what every one is going on about can't find the post any where

[AJP]

Cheers mate. Got the springs from Awesome GTI. Haven't had to touch the arch screw myself as they clear fine. There's plenty of room.

Remember to get a full alignment done once it's lowered.

Just bear in mind, some 225s are a touch wider than other 225s. Not massively, but if they have a squarer shoulder you could get the odd bit of contact. Like I said, the Supersports are a good option. As well as being a damned good tyre!

[AJP]

PS, make sure you get the H&R springs with 29176-1 product code

[MC71]

you'll be fine with 225. Remove the arch liner screw at top of the arch and push the liner in and  under, gives extra room too. Simples.

Type that P/N into Google for best price. GNJ sell them (ask for a deal on both the wheels and springs), AewsomeGTI, Alex at AKSTuning and depending on exchange rate.....cheapest of all........eBay.de.

perfect seen the springs on there website.
regarding tyres i take it you run 225,40,r18 would it be worth getting 215 and stretching the tyres slightly or not?
