So I chucked the BBS's back on tonight after getting some new front tyres put onto them today.  Great to get them back on and now I can fit the R8 calipers.

The TT hubs have made the track almost too wide to have the BBS's fitted, but I thought I would see how I get on.  First big bump in the road and they bloody catch.  They have a cut themselves a new groove line too.  :fighting:  Tomorrow there will be some wing removed!!!! :mad:

Ordering some of these to bring the top of the wheel back in and to add some more camber:



They look like great bits of kit and I hope they work.

This is why you ran out of space with your wheels Alex  :laugh:



Look at the difference in height, my quess is in total including the TT mk2 lower controlarms you're adding app. 22-23mm track in each side  :surprised:

The TT hubs are the longer ones Mike - I think you still have ally S3/Cupra hubs, same as on the right in the photo...TT on left.

You have the Cupra Hubs Mike, and with the TT mk 2 lower control arms you get 7mm wider track, so with the TT hubs you would have app. 22mm wider in each side, and even more trouble  :signLOL:

Ive been wanting to make up a solid bush to replace the smaller dog bone rubber bush for ages now.  The standard one splits really easily and the powerflex seems a compromise.  With a solid one not available I thought why not.  Its not fitted yet so testing will start on monday.  If im happy with it then I (personally) will make a batch of ten to sell (who is up for a group buy maybe) :happy2:  The bush is made of aircraft grade alloy.







Other than that, the brackets, hoses and bolts have turned up from DaveB  :xmaspresent:

Sporting the winter wheels and tyres too.  I quite like it.



You fitted this yet, Alex?

Is it the same setup on the GTI?

It's been on for a while now.  Made a noticable improvement, but has increased transmission noise through the car.  I'm testing the Vibratechnics bush when I put it on this week to see how it compares to the solid one.
