wow those are some shiny ass tyres!!

Looking good... but I've seen a car with just VWR springs (aparently) and TBH it looked almost as low... Which coilovers have you got?

VWR springs..

Looks awesome Keano  :notworthy:

Love the gloss black Pescaras, they always look like 19's when when done gloss!

And as always your paintwork is just sublime  :happy2:

Really does look awesome!

I'd be really interested to know how you find the AP's compared to the springs.
I'm hoping to treat mine to a little lowering in the new year!

Also what products are you using to get your tornado red to 'pop' like that!!?

Thanks guys  :happy2:

The ride is firmer than standard, don't get me wrong. But I'd be happy to take the in-laws out in it. ( that is my very own suspension harshness test haha)

My dampers were very sloppy when I took them off so I imagine they weren't performing 100% so anything is better really  :grin:

I'd certainly reccomend them to anyone thinking about them.

VWR springs..




This is my old edition and yes it is on just springs, but they are springs for a scirocco R that's why it sits lower!

Nothing. The naughty little 'so and so' broke down  :grin:

See my other thread in the general section. I'll be rebooking but not telling the car this time, so it can't throw a wobbly a day before haha  :grin:
