That looks awesome Paul, Nice size in the arch's. Couple of questions

Whats the ride like now that youve moved to 19"

And have you lowered the car? they look like they fit the arch's just a little bit too well!

hi rich
you can feel the difference from going 17s to 19s.feels heavier when you steer at low speeds,havent really tested speed wise yet
but overall they feel great
not lowered at all yet,i say yet but not sure if want to go through hassle etc of lowering,did that with me mk4 gti
this was on coilovers



this on springs


went through 4 cv joints in 1 1/2 years and changed front arb twice

Looking at it, I dont think it needs to be lowered, seems to be sitting nicely on the wheels as it is.   :happy2:

Paul can correct me if im wrong but I believe the car was being sold so was going back to standard....
